What pannier system is this?

[The Other PaulG]

A bike I bought has a set of pannier racks fitted.

The problem is, I don't know what make they are.

Please, does anyone recognise these and if so, could you tell me the make/model?

Thanks in advance,

Paul G (the other)

Could be original BM/Krauser pannier frames, the four holes should have Dzuss fasteners in them if I'm right.

Standing by and expecting incomming missiles.

Thanks Noddy -

I know that the original mono was unusual because it came with just one pannier, but maybe a 2-pannier frame was developed later???

I'll check the holes.

Some of the wee stained chaps in the airhead section will know I'd say Paul.

i think its a standard bwm system. ask in the airhead section and they should be able to tell you every thing about them post a pic in the mono register while you are there

Hmmm no Dzuss fasteners so not sure where that leaves us...

I'll ask a mod whether this can be transferred to the airheaders.

Looks identical to the Krauser type of rack fitted to my 1979 RT - don't quite know where Dzus fasteners come into it, though ?
It is a good idea to drill through the back of the pannier & utilise those holes in the bracket to fix an alloy "mushroom" & an "R" clip as a belt & braces measure - otherwise the panniers are only held on by the locking tab, which is none too secure; DAMHIK, but they can come adrift at speed.

Looks like the Metal Mule rack - same oblong frame shape at any rate.

I suspect we are talking about the same thing Martyn .

Stock BM pannier racks for a mono, no strut between the pannier frames, the holes don't use dzus fasteners

Aha!

It looks like the mystery is history.

Thanks Thunder, you win the lollipop, and also everyone else for your valuable contributions.

Cheers,

That's the sort of thing - otherwise it is possible to have a pannier "surfing the tarmac" alongside you - DAMHIK !
