They look great, Jack. Since I bought our alu panniers from Hebco & Becker (type: Alu Standart, € 600,00 for both incl rack) I am a big fan of these type of panniers. Solid like a rock.
I'm using Hepco on the CT too, and it's much better to fill then the custom plastic were on the Vara.
The 3 aluboxes can hide 125 liters of goods, so we can travel long distances with the maximum comfort.
On the other hand, they're looking very nice.
That's a very good price.
