Fixing a most annoying problem with the panniers …

The two retaining straps in each pannier have a bad habit of getting squeezed in between the pannier case and the lid when you close the pannier.

Using a short adjustable rubber band between the straps ensures that they are pulled towards the center of the pannier when it is closed.

And you can still easily get your gear in and out of the pannier.

Problem solved 👍🏁

GPS bracket …

It was not particular easy to make a proper bracket for the Garmin Zumo XT on the Honda NT1100, and it took some serious dismantling of the bike to connect the power supply to the bikes harness.

The Apple Carplay feature on the NT1100 is nice, but for me it is not a substitute for a real GPS system.

It was worth the hard work and I’m very pleased with the result.
