Sounds like ........ I would like to see what you do about panniers. I bought a small cheap set that fit ok, don't hold a ton but I don't carry much so I think it will be ok. I carry most stuff in a 70L duffle on the back.

So here's an update on the pannier situation.

I got some old steel tubes out of a clothes hanger rack and some old parts from my old and now dead zzr, and bent them a bit to get them to where I wanted.

I drilled a small hole on one side near the pillion step/ muffler hanger. I think there was already a hole on one side.

Then i welded a nut to the red (looks rusty, but it's strong, mostly surface rust) pipe and attached it horizontal to the frame.

Then i took some mounts plate that i found online for second hand and made appropriate holes and bolted it to this pipe.

Some good (ingenious if i may be a allowed to brag) design on the way these are bolted. I made a hole, and slided a nut inside and then bolted the bolt to this nut.

The side pannier case mount plate is attached viab4 bolts as shown in green circles.

I made holes into the pillion grip and attached a carrier there.

The top case carrier is bolted to this carrier.

I bent the other two legs of the carrier so that it fits where the green circle is shown without any bolt currently attached. And where the indicators originally attach.

I shift the indicators shoddily to a horizontal pipe that attach to the two red pipes and made some extension wire to attach the indicators!!

It got dark as i was assembling.

A shoddy looking job but it seems to work. I'll take a photo of it all finished and cases attached soon.
