I received my bags and rack from Ernie (Overland-Solutions or http://tinyurl.com/4hda) the other day and I must say I am VERY pleased with what I got. My bike is a BMW R80G/S.

The rear sub frame is a complete new one, built with heavier tubing on a jig bike Ernie bought for this purpose. He’s made an identical setup for a friend of mine.

After much talk back and forth, and lots of Ernie’s input, we got to where we wanted. A custom made rear frame, rack and pannier holders, Touratech Zega bags (35 and 41 L), indicators relocated, rack raised so that we can remove and access the panniers without removing the top luggage, everything anodized to avoid aluminum rub, a special bracket for the seat we’re using, outside locks, without protrusions inside the bags and overall sturdy construction. I’m sure I’m forgetting some things, but here’s a page on my website where you can view the result. Needles to say I am VERY happy with how it all turned out.

The neat thing is that I am in Canada and Ernie is in the UK. We did all this by phone and e-mail. It was really nice to work with him to get to this result; he knows his stuff and is very customer focused, a rarity these days.

If you want more info, contact me off-line.
