Those are the second-to-last set of Happy Trails panniers and racks that the owner had on the shelf, he says he isn't making them any longer as G/S owners were too whiney about the fiit requiring some customization to go onto the bikes (very true ion my case)... the last set sold (racks as the bags are universal) last spring...

Here are a few more leads...

Thanks for the information on the other bikes for sale. The Vermont bikes are "for me" way overpriced so i will definitely have to pass.

Can anyone explain to me why a good number of GS bikes are painted a striking blue color?

Just received my R80 PD tank. UPS must have used it as a basketball. Box torn to shreds, gas cap broken in two pieces, filler neck crushed in and multiple dents. Those guys must be the biggest knuckleheads in the shipping world. This is not the first time this type of thing has occurred with UPS. I have made a claim. Shame. Was a beautiful tank.

Anyone know the viability of getting dents out of tank by a body shop?
