I've been thinking of buying those for a while. How easily do you think they'll be to remove? Did you wire in the rear lights? It would be great if you'd give us all your thoughts on them. They do look great though, and wider than I thought. Very nice.

they took about an hour to fit. The mounting frame bolts in three places. one on the top shock mount, and the other 2 on the mudguard support 'D' shaped thingy suing substantial wrap rounf brackets.
the one that fits on the bottom run was easy, but the top one needs either the mudguard taking off or a strong lever or screwdriver to make room to get the bracket round.

the panniers themselves fit to the frame with 4 off M4 bolts and nylock nuts, through rubber grommets and steel spacer so there is no direct stress on the fibreglass.

I have not wired up the lights yet, but will do.

Will post a photo from behind, but they are just narrower than the handlebar ends
