Tonight discovered the pannier frame bracket on the carrier rack broken away. R/H side rear.

Stripped the frames and rack off. Bit of a piss poor original weld. No, or very little weld penetration to the parent material :mad:

But, wow. I quite forgot what a pretty little rear end the R80ST really has.:)

Now need to find somebody with a TIG welder who can do a small and neat weld.

I've got an early rack with the R/H pannier only, need to make lug and weld it on to left side.

Too little time

Doesn’t need to be TIG welded. A perfectly good result could be achieved with gas or MIG - it’s only mild steel.
