Stuff about panniers-
Custom made from Galvanized sheets.
A half centimeter cushion stuck inside and a black rexine leather stuck outside to reduce vibrations and metal flapping noise.
The caps open to the outside on both sides so that Cramster saddle bag can go in both the panniers. The idea is the let the saddle bag take most of the weight and the pannier be a metal cover carrying its own weight.
There are slits to the inside of the panniers to accommodate resting flap of the saddle bag, once the panniers are closed.
First mount point for the Right Pannier
Second mount point for Right pannier, resting on the silencer...
Looking inside, the nut screws right into the silencer...
Third mount point of Right pannier. A custome made metal tube in the place of Indicator socket.
First mount point of the Left pannier, Resting on Saree guard...
Second mount point of Left pannier. Metal fabricated piece welded to Saree guard and screwed to pannier...
Third mount point of Left pannier...
Since the Indicator socket is used up by the metal tubes to support the panniers and occupying its space, the Indicators move back and are fixed on the Number Plate.

hey did you go to goa on the 28th of september on any bullet carrying ka 51 number recently
Excellent ride Pravin. Congratulations! Have been following the ride on and off.
Looks like a good kit Pravin. Excellent improvisations, I may add. However, am curious about the tyres that you used. The puncture repair kit indicates that you used tubed tyres. Did you not use Tubeless ones? Arent they less hassle on a long ride such as this? If indeed you used tubed ones, what prompted you?
Also, what was the texture? Soft compound for grip or harder centres with soft edges for durability? Shed some light on this please. :)
Loves,
Evo
Thanks Evo. Glad you liked the logs. You are right that tube less tires would have been bettor and less chances of punctures. But with bad luck if that happens, you have to repair the punctures youself. And if its not done properly then its big problem.
The tires i am running on were Michelin M45. Multipurpose soft compound tires.
Thanks for the insight Pravin. :)
Was wondering whether we could meet up someday. Am a passionate tourer myself, though havent taken up anything in your league as yet. :D
Loves,
Evo
Sure Evo, Lets meet up some time. We are all travelers. Just that some times one gets to break out.
Excellent customisation.
How much of hard work & patience put into this! wow!!!
Again a Great one buddy.
keep it up!
Cheers
Roopesh
Thanks Roopesh. It sure was a hardwork getting it built.
Pravin..
Ur trip is very inspiring..
Salute you. The blog is a fantastic guide. I will use it for my future trips.. Got on to ur blog while looking for info to go to sunderbans...
You lived my dream..!
Hi Praveen,
I am also planning similar kind of trip. And I too stay in Bangalore. Just wanted to know how did you manage to get the reservations for hotels at all the places and what all stuff you had to do for the prep.
Hi Vamshi,
I was gate crashing every where. Did have to run around sometimes to find place to stay. For preps, mainly had to work on the panniers, rest were of the shelf.
Wish you all the best for your trip.
That is a very good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Simple but very accurate information… Appreciate your sharing this one.
A must read article!
