Jools,
no i'm not sure, and to be honest after my trip to CMW today I think they could be the same.
I had a look in the 2003 and 2004 accessories catalogues and the panniers are the same parts numbers, and the brackets look identical to me.
The salesman thought the 2004 panniers were slightly larger capacity, but that's not what it said in the book.
I'l keep an eye on ebay then
Here's a question for those of you with panniers.
Having a look at some panniers on a 2003 bike it seems to me that the handle recess could fill up with water in heavy rain. Does it drain out somehow ??
The salesman hadn't been asked this before. When we go back for a test ride I'll be taking a jug and testing it
Stan,
no worries about joining us late, and congrats on the baby. Any first hand experiences are handy to me.
Dave,
its a possible, but I can't say until I've had a ride on the 2004 bike.
Is yours the matt or shiny grey ?
I brought the 04 catalogue home and the missus had a goo read over a cuppa.
She likes the look of it, so that's a start
Cheers people, have a great weekend.
Cheers,
John.
