No rush. They're still $45 but postage now $20. Good for a few days yet.

Mine just arrived. Seem to be the goods! Fits the pannier perfectly. They are solidly made and come with a carry handle as well as a detachable shoulder strap. It won't use the space as efficiently as packing the pannier like a suitcase, but it will be much more convenient than taking the pannier into a room.
Not only is the pannier bulky and clunky, but it doesn't sit on the floor very well.
And you tend to damage them when you start carting them down corridors etc.
Which just goes to show buildings are more dangerous than roads.

A mate and I got a set between us a couple of years ago (between us because neither of us really wanted both).
Anyway......................................... :well They are the ones with smaller pockets on one side. The reason I mention this is that I've put mine on the 'wrong' side. What I mean is that I've put the right one in the left pannier. By doing this, the bulk of the smaller pockets fits into the recess on the inner side of the pannier. :thumbsup
Also, I found that when you open the pannier, the liner tends to 'flop' out into the lid. So I put the most used, smaller items in these pockets and then when I open the pannier the liner 'flops' out and the pockets are on top, not hidden underneath............ :clap unzip, retrieve item, use it, replace in pocket, zip it up, close pannier. :thumbs No need to take liner out of pannier for smaller items. :runyay
Works for me :crazy.....................May do for someone else too.
Just thought I'd mention it,

All true, thanks Dave. My RH pannier is full of bike cover, repair kit, pump, wet weather pants, scarf, 1 litre petrol and whatever else, so I probably will never use the RH one. But I agree about the little pocket fitting into the recess.
It's a nice touch that the ST1300 is so well embroidered onto the pocket.
I gave them very positive feedback, because there was nearly $15 worth of stamps, plus the strong bag and it was registered post.
