I installed Blaze Panniers this weekend and posted a slideshow to YouTube.
I was surprised by a lack of photos that I could find prior to making my decision. Overall, I'm happy with how the install turned out and will see how we do over the summer.
For the $$ paid, a better wiring solution to extend the signal wires could have been provided. It could have been a little longer and the splice connectors provided will not splice the smaller gauge stock wires.
The bag hooks need to come out a little bit and I might look at bending them out and away from the rear tire a little more.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with the setup. It looks great, very easy to take on or off, very limited hardware when the bags are not installed, and capacity is just what I need for gear/water/E911 fuel or cameras etc. etc.
