Any suggestions

[Mad Paddy]

I’m looking for some suggestions
I’m after 2 x blocks of some material to lay on top of my vario panniers to come up to rear seat height so I can rest big tent across them
Thanks

Hockey pucks?

 

[Mad Paddy]

They need to be at least 8”inch height to come up level with rear seat

polystyrene old package, no weigh and waterproof

I wanted the same so i bought 2x divers bags and used them for locks on one side and waterproofs on the other. The height was just right to match he 600mm long tent across the bike.

 

[Mad Paddy]

Sounds like a good suggestion thanks

Take the rear grab handle off ( 4 bolts )

and fit one of these

I picked one up locally for about £40 notes that one is very expensive


The plate and pannier are all aligned

when you bet back, just unbolt the plate and pop the rear grab handle back on

Not polystyrene, it’ll fall to bits, little white balls everywhere. Polythene foam is cheap, light, very tough & waterproof.

THis was what i fitted

and i removed the grab handle

Lomo 20 litre bags fit just nicely

Here

As high quality as anything you’ll find at twice the price and a Scottish company too

Another vote for Lomo, used their throwovers when MrsD & I went to Mandello on the Guzzi. Perfect. Totally waterproof.

unfortunately the link I put up was for a specific bag but obviously it didnt work, it was a strap on top of the pannier lid and then open with zip top, I went touring with the lomo style canoe bags last year and threw them away afterwards fecking hate them, every time I wanted anything out of the bag it was a PIA to get to, they are great for putting tents in or probably for putting in canoe's but for everything else there are way better options.

nothing wrong with lomo, got and use several of their bags, just canoe bags
