I show you how to purchase and use a few small parts to permanently attach your Krauser or BMW panniers to your Vintage airhead so they never fall off.
Thanks for this nice tutorial. It’s more aesthetically pleasing than supplemental cargo straps, I guess, but the quick-release functionality of the bags is done. Bag liners do sort of substitute for bag removability, but replacing worn latches and loose rivets, keeping the latches locked while moving, and minimizing the tendency to overload the bags, is my preferred solution to unplanned baggage departures.
my locks work fine so that wasnt the intent. it was strictly aesthetic. But its also a good remedy should your rear locking mechanism fail. once insstalled, the rear lock is superflous. :)
Now you need a few drain holes at the bottom of the case to let the water out lol. To be honest, I don't know why you'd drill holes in your motorcycle luggage.
@@KimMoonbmwmoonie Personally, I'd have kept using the strap and avoided making holes in the cases. It rains all the time over here and the last thing I'd want is wet luggage.
@@louisrauzi3872 So you guys know better than the hundreds of thousands of people who tour with these cases without drilling holes in them? I have the updated cases from Hepco. Guess what? They didn't feel the need to make holes in these either. You are introducing a weak point to the structure and letting water in that will soak your stuff, but whatever, this is CZcams, so it must be right.
Would you consider listing the parts, please. Like, what size rivnut you used and the knob. Links to them is also helpful. Thanks and well done - I like the solution you came up with!
Great idea. I use the strap method but this is more permanent.
Brilliant no more bungie chords
Well done!
Nicely done! I’ll be doing this!

and as an after thought, it doesnt take but a few moments more to remove the bags. :)

so I dont have to use the unatractive straps to hold them on... Ifyou dont have an old airhead you might not know they tend to fall off.

@@deepsmac7784 i guess you missed the part where I used rubber gaskets.....
Jeez be real if you've toured with Krausers you know straps are necessary. This fixes it internally.

It's all listed in the video... 3:40
Done. Rubber seals seal the gap, no leaks. So sick of using ugly straps that get lost.
great! Glad I was able to provide a nicer solution. I like it myself. LOL
