Finally, after waiting 3 months for these boxes to arrive and another week of procrastination, my panniers are mounted. I really would not have chosen these because they are way too big to look cool, but the price was right.

| Without a center stand, the swing arm stand was essential for the installation |
 |
| That's my '82 KZ550A in the background |
 |
| Ready for adventure, or grocery-getting |
 |
| The paint on the boxes is of poor quality, but then so is the paint on my plastics! |
 |
| There was not enough flatwashers to use some as spacers (as instructed) so I used 3/8" lockwashers and no threadlock |
 |
| I was too lazy to remove the side covers, so a sharp nail and locking pliers did the trick |
 |
| The total width is over 36" and it looks stupid. |
 |
| Damn, I just added about 25 pounds to my bike. Its a good thing they are easily removable. |
