    Hi All. Yesterday I picked up an 1985 R65 from Nelson for my son who bought it off the internet. I checked all the oils and tyre pressures etc and headed north to catch the ferry. I spent the first hour smiling I was having so much fun. Anyway I intended to maybe stay in Wellington the night and carry on to my home just north of Hamilton…however I was having so much fun and the old girl was running so sweet I carried on home. Just  passed Tokoroa I heard a small sound and discovered the right side pannier was gone. I went back 300 metres and there it was in the middle of the road so I picked it up made it home by 6am. So getting to the point. The clamp that holds the pannier onto the frame is smashed and I would love to get another one. Can anyone help me please. These are Hepco & Becker touring panniers (i think original) and the clamps (smooth top)   (with small flap covering lock) If any one has a spare I would love to hear from you. Thanks

    These bags are known for falling off its a good idea to put a strap around each bag for safety
