I need the US equivalent of that. Been looking at something called snake-skin, which is similar although not quite as thick.RTman10 wrote: And with the Halfords extensions, none to the pannier lid. They will cover that though.

Or you could go to Halfords and buy a set of Bumper Protectors for £17.99. [/size]https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-accessories/exterior-protection/richbrook-bumper-bodywork-protector-370mm
I know these work as I dropped my bike on a patch of diesel and the panniers were unmarked.
With the bike on the centre stand I ran a straight edge from the rear tyre to the panniers and stuck the protector where they meet. They're almost invisible when fitted.

About what. On page 2 I have posted pics. Fitted mine with the panniers off. Just lined them up with the ridge in the lid. There are two sizes available. You need the shorter version which are 32cm long. Cost me £9.99.
