Title: Model G Saddle box?
Post by: chris-bartlett on June 27, 2008, 10:01:00 pm

What's this thing called? Not the triangular tool box, but the box that sits near the top of the rear fender. Is it also a tool box? Or a general saddle box? Is there a specific name? It seems to appear only on Model G's from the 40s. I ask because I'd like to see if I could fit one on a modern RE Classic and I'm not sure what to search for.
Thanks.

The structure the little tool boxes are mounted to is called a handle stay. I would assume the box would have been called the handle stay tool box. It is really too small to be refered to as a panier.
