Here it is, set up with a standard set of Panniers and a trunk bag. It doesn't look too bad either. I used a standard Avenir rear rack and set some shackle bolts on the seat frame back for the front mount and the down struts are attached at the lower mount points.
:D

What? No duct tape? For shame! Turn in your 'Red Green' flannel shirt at the door!

Well, we used the pannier setup for a grocery run and it seems to have the weight distribution about right as well, 25 pounds in the bags and no difference in how it rode at all!:D
