Hepco and Becker Alu panniers fitting help

[DaveGSCymro]

Bought a second hand set of panniers for an 1150 from a member on this forum but can't seem to get them to sit right. Can someone who has these fitted tell me if there are any spacers in between the top mountings and the frame?
Thanks
Dave

There are spacers used but cant remember just where sorry,I am surprised Motobins dont know as they sell the fitting kit.

Had a search on google images for your bike and H & B panniers? Might show if others have them at the same jaunty angle.

Thanks for this, I did check on google as well but no joy as to whether there are any spacers

Who on the forum has these fitted I wonder

I sold the very same panniers to Melly Senior a member of this forum,PM him he could have a look for you.

I have them, and yes the nearside one does look p1ssed..but for the amount of time I have thm on the bike it's not too important to me.
Whatton has them with a home made bracket to even them up....

Had a similar problem fitting Holan rails to a mates 1150 last week, the offside just bolted up, the nearside needed a spacer about 10mm thick behind the rearmost mount. we used the rectangular one from the system rails though a stack of washers would have done the trick.
