Are you still there, 'Godspeed'?? Shows how much I go on the forum as I've only just seen your reply to my query about the Givi panniers on your Innova, going back to early last year! Since then I rode my 2005 carb 4000 miles around Europe (Slovenia, NE Germany, Brittanny and home) over 4 weeks. Averaged over 155mpg, used a litre or so of oil and adjusted the chain a couple of times, so not a bad return for the £900 it cost me. I've just spent a few hundred on new brakes, rear shocks, sprockets and the like and would like to fit hard-case panniers as the soft-case ones were a pain when having to remove them as well as my tent/bed-roll to fill up. The E22's are still available but I'll also need the frame and there seem to be quite a choice. I'm sure that there'll be nothing spec'd for the Innova, so was wondering if your memory's good enough to recall what you 'finessed' on yours... BTW, mine was christened Inez the Innova on the trip out, but having traversed the Alps (and in these enlightened times) they morphed into Hannibal. Cheers, Andy R
