I just mounted the rack and panniers. Was a bit of a struggle as the bolts were in some places too long and obstructing rotating objects. I shortened them where needed and made sure the rack is fixed securely. Looks good right now, so next week I'll have a test run on a dry day. I'm pretty hyped right now, feeling like riding right now, but the rain and wind is just too much right now. Looks like Tuesday/Wednesday next week will be a good combo looking at the weather forecast, but that can still change.
Off to bed now, catch up some sleep.
