- Continuing the journey of the two-wheeled Hurricane Fighter plane, today I've added a pair of military surplus 1958 Pattern motorcycle Panniers.
These excellent panniers were in use in the British military up until the late '90s.
Hope you enjoyed the video!
See you out on the road,
Stuart
Just subscribed, I have a Kawasaki er5, not bad bikes used mine as a winter hack for the last 2 years, unfortunately it has decided that it doesn’t won’t to be a bike at the moment as it has stopped running. Look forward to the next update.
Thank you for watching! They're great bikes, less and less around these days.
Sorry to hear you're having troubles though; any ideas what's up?
@@deepspace_motorcycle pulled the carbs off a few weeks ago, dint look to bad, so I don’t think they where the problem cdi box, or maybe a coil as it seems to be mainly the right hand cly, but who knows.
Wouldn't be a cracked HT lead on that side would it?
@@deepspace_motorcycle might be I will have to have a look, hopefully get a bit of spare time this week so I can carry on with it.
@@frankboff8185 good luck with it. These sorts of problems are right monkeys to diagnose hey!
Looking good mate, I was on ebay last night looking for military panniers before seeing this. Loads of questions to ask about your project, want to do same with mine. 👍
Those panniers are amazing! I love the fact that they're so adaptable and so many straps for tying on extra stuff. Really good build quality too. I can see why the MoD used that pattern for 40 odd years!
Ask away! More than happy to help. Sadly I don't have the ER5 now but she gone to a loving home and a gentleman who definitely appreciates our ratty way of thinking :)
What did you do to make it more wateresistent :) just using drybags?
They have a certain amount of water resistance, but if you're out for any time in a deluge it does get damp. I usually pack stuff into bags inside like you say, but I did debate using some wax on them to waterproof them... if i ever try I will let you know!
