Luggage solution
I promised to post some pics of my luggage solution so here they are.
The first shows the frame folded. Next fitted and the cases clip on and lock so no straps needed. The high brake light shows through. The cases hold a massive amount and can be carried into a hotel. Basically it's a set of bike panniers with the framework adapted. I had to make the triangular plate that fits to the luggage rack. The (white where the black paint has worn off) clips are plumbers water pipe clips which rotate merrily to fit. It all takes about 3 minutes to fit and is totally secure.

Very neat Nick!
The panniers do look like Givi type. A make well respected in the two wheeled touring fraternity.

I like them too - but they are rather expensive. Also, as they are top loader, you need to budget for a fitted bag to slot inside to make packing easier.

Ingenious Nick
Better than one large heavy suitcase that does your back in lifting it on and off
You could write 'His' and 'Hers' on the cases

Many many thanks for posting. I have been thinking of doing something like this for ages and have been put off by not being able to work out how to make the fitting simple.
Which make of panniers do you use?
I priced some up and found an enormous variation in price. Hi Paul, eBay will have a lot of choices for what you need and because you don't require them for a specific bike (ie sculpted rear for exhaust etc) you have thousands of choices and prices. Gumtree also may suit. Have fun!
