Greytec Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have bought 1200 panniers. The right pannier needs to be modified to fit the 800. There is a lump on the heat protection shield that hits the exhaust. Greetings, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greytec Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It's a bit piramid-like, I cut it with an angle grinder and folded it flat. I put tape over it because the edges still are a little sharp. I'm looking for a better solution.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAM00444.jpg well if thats all you got to do then bingo. take it the locks from the 800 will go in ok? idea for you take the heat sheled off and just cut whats needed then get some one to just tack weld the hole. once its flat that is?

Greytec Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I don't know about the locks, I bought them with locks and keys. The sheald is attached with rivets, so taking it off is not so easy and I am scared to damage the pannier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
