MY 2006 Bullet has 2 aluminium, home made panneirs fitted, which whilst looking quite 'cool' stick out a long way whilst parked in the garage. hence I'm thinking of taking them off, but still need somewhere to stash my lunch etc. I have thought about a canvas type pannier, but wondered if anyone has bought / made a rear carrier rack that is smaller and neater then the HUGE ones that I have seen on the web, in real life etc?

If its only lunch have you tried a tanktop bag?

I use our hosts tank bag with Royal Enfield printed on it:-

PART No. 92580 TANK BAG, MAGNETIC, ROYAL ENFIELD,

Do, nt know about aldi uk but here in aust they do a nice 2 part tank bag about 22 quid your money works very well and quite waterproof for your english summers ha ha. Can be carried or used like a backpack neat.

Yep, I've had one of those Lidl tank bags for the last five years. Great piece of kit. I also use a shoulder bag (for want of a better description) which I got from an army surplus store for eight quid.

Whilst using many official Paininers from Embossed Leather,to Army, To Old 45 Ruck sacks my New Cheap Ones are..Black DELL Lap Top Bags ( Every Corporate Place/ Work has New Bags and Dump the old when New PC's arrive) They are Free ,Nylon 75% water proof,Lots of Pockets (Great For Collecting & Padding Out Beer Bottles 6 a side) and My Sandwiches are Kept very Well...They are Quite Stiff so Do Not Enter rear wheel due to Mudguard/Sub Assembly stay,and are Narrower than All Handle Bars..So give them a go and they are FREE ;0)

That sounds great Craig. How can I get my hands on a pair? EBay? Computer shop?

Hmm alloy panniers. Here's my email hovis dot dh at gmail dot com

Just what I want for my bike 😊

Found the Dell bags on eBay. Tenner seems to be the going rate. Reckon they'd look pretty smart on a black bullet.
