Well, I finally got to fit my panniers, nothings ever simple is it?
When I got the bike the first thing that had to be done was to fit a tail tidy. This moves the indicators forward, consequently the rear pannier bracket then fouls the indicator and won't fit.
Solution, do I fabricate a bracket to move the indicators back about an inch or so. Or, do I go for the integrated rear light and indicator setup. I chose the latter. Looking around, these lights are available in the U.K. for about £60, anyway, I found one on ebay from China (surprisingly) for £20 odd inc shipping. Have to say the quality of it is rather good for the price. I have had to order some load resistors though (£4.39 ebay)
Finally though, the panniers are now fitted and I like em.
