Lemming - what...  where...  how...  ??
 
I can't wait to see those cases on the B5! 

[lemming]

$49 shipped for both cases.... fleabay for the win! I fully expect to have to fabricate an attachment bracket, but I think that will be pretty straightforward.

I wonder who made them...

Someone in China, undoubtedly. ABS plastic, I have low expectations.

those panniers do look nice love to see them fitted to a B5, could make a nice replacement for my Givi E21's.
So after fitting the old style bushes, I refitted the swingarm, had to replace the chain guide bracket thing as the original had cracked.
I also replaced the rear tube due to a puncture, thought it was from a nail I pulled out the other week, but turned out to be caused by the rim tape slipping and the tube ripping on the spoke adjusters.
A quick ride out for some fuel shows the bigger sprocket makes for more controlled acceleration and vibration reduced at 65mph the rear end now has zero side to side movement and handling much improved.
I have now fitted the Hitchcock leg-shields and the Avon style fairing, just need to fit the headlight and align it before my B5 is ready for some winter fun.

Fitted a flasher unit to my brake light. Might help prevent getting rear-ended.

Oh yes it did......enjoy









After wiping all the chrome in AC50 for winter I went for a test ride on a gusty day, if anything the bike is more stable and cuts through the air , with the 1 tooth bigger sprocket accelerates up to 65mph and seems to top out at 70mph with a lot less vibration, which is the speed I ride at on fast roads, top gear is now like an overdrive, the engine is not stressing so probably needs a longer run to see what the true top speed is now although I don't think it will be much more, before all the new bits were fitted I saw 90mph on the clock which is more like an honest 83mph.....Looks nice (IMO) too, just need a nice 'Royal Enfield' transfer in gold to go on the fairing or screen to finish it off.

Oh my fairing Gods. What is that O_O

[High On Octane]

Paint it black and white and you'll have yourself a vintage Police Bike!
