I wouldn't be using side panniers mounted to the seat, but rather
low and below the seat with the weight held by the frame and no seat
structures. Unless you mean the shape of the seat is the problem.
Anyway, looks like those lower racer panniers could be mounted with
only a light frame that keeps them off the chain and otherwise in
place. Same with the Rack Bag Large; mounted on the frame just
behind the seat. Given the way the seat is built I'm reluctant to
mount anything heavy on it. Thanks for your reply. Denny
