February 2, 200916 yr Moderator PS - is there the clearance for saddle bags?.... This is yours goff.. right?.... Yep those are the ones. The only thing i will say is that you need to fuck about slightly to get them to fit and add some of your own spacers but its a piece of cake to do. And they look and sound the dogs bollox as you can see. I got a vid on youtube if you wanna her them HERE I use textile throwovers when im rallying - i dont have saddlebags but yeah theres loads of room. Never rejetted or anything, just shoved em on and away i went - and no probs whatsoever The heat shield that comes with them is shite so i suggest you get one made. I just paid 50 quid for a custom one but wirht it cos ive gone thrugh 3 pairs of waterproofs and they get REALLY hot. HTH

Ooooh you have them too! Didnt you find you had to fanny about though to get them on - although the end result is fabulous!

DIDN'T have much trouble at all but i did take brake pedal (all bracket ) & rectifier off first----also made a small plate/brackt to pick up on front hole so both hole on original mount were in use not just rear. p.s what sort heat shield did you get as like u said original sh*t-- textile trousers melted & nasty marks on leathers- but a small prce to pay

Also the heat shield was missing from them and he kept promising to send it but never did - until i started a paypal dispute then he sent it and its shite!! Also the baffles didnt fit without getting stuck so i had to spend ages grinding them to fit - but i dont have them in anyway - much better without! I had my mate make a permanent one for me this is it - and its brilliant:
