The batteries arrived... Before they did, I upgraded the 1.4 slicks I had to 1.95.. They fill the fenders well, hope I don't have to ride in mud.

Of course, the regular camera is down, but I ripped the packs apart, added a waterproof fuse to one and a SPST pigtail switch on the positive lead near the main connector.

The charger was a bit of a hassle, but once I figured it out and learned brown was negative (and of course I had to replace the fuse...)


I also padded the bottom of the panniers with some high density packing foam (recycled) and here it is. (Yes, I double checked each connection, solder joint, voltage and so on - carefully when I did this, time well spent.
