That's wonderful.
Other pannier mounting systems are available on Taobao, which will support the Tusk panniers, Pelican cases, et cetera. However, every mounting system I have yet seen has the following defect. They attach the front of the racks to the inside end of the passenger foot pegs with a single bolt. This attachment point is exposed, and vulnerable. If you drop the bike, you are highly likely to strip the single bolt from the rear of the foot peg. A superior system would attach the front of the rack to the base of the passenger foot peg, on the subframe of the bike itself. This configuration would be much stronger, and much more robust.

keithmaine, since you just got your bike uncrated and running, before you put any miles on it ,It's paramount that you take care of one little thing that I have neglected to share here with others but should be mandatory and written in BOLD face in the manual.
You need to go have a celebratory ice cream in honor of your purchase and raise a cone to your new bike. Champaign optional. Winter is barely started and I'm already bored. rj

All the aftermarket pannier racks I have seen, including the CSC pannier racks, mount to the inside of the end of the passenger foot pegs. I hope someone will design a set of pannier racks that attaches to the subframe, at the top of the passenger foot pegs.

Nice pics. Your RX3 looks great in red (the best color).

Congrats Keithmaine! The bike looks great! Red just pops when you see it.
So now that the windshield and top case is mounted, the bike has been toasted, and the plates were conveniently in your car, that you managed to put a few miles on the bike? |
