Very Nice!! Where did you get the buckets and Fender Holders? I was going to use kitty litter buckets but don't need the litter and would rather go without the logo.

You can get used square buckets from restaurants - bulk condiments like pickles and mayonnaise come in buckets that size. Nice panniers, Harleyfrog! They look every bit as good as this, without the cost: http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?category=600066 &subcategory=60001006&brand=&sku=21698&storetype=& estoreid=&pagename=Shop %20by%20Subcat%3A%20Wedges%20%26%...

Hehe nice, I was thinking of doing makeshift bucket panniers but I went with a milkcrate instead. Think of the clearance issues! Especially in tight traffic!

Slap a couple of slow-moving-vehicle triangles on the backs and take the lane Actually, the whole deal isn't that wide - anything that gets close enough to hit the buckets is within a couple of inches of hitting your body anyways.

Nice! I made a pannier out of an old messenger bag, 2 s-hooks, a piece of steel, bungie rope, and some misc pieces of nylon. It actually works reasonably well and doesn't look too ghetto. I am now inspired to make bucket panniers.

Now the time to find some primer to treat the plastic and paint them the same color as your bike. I think it's pretty cool way to save money...

Sorry, I couldn't resist...
