| Having ordered a set of Fehling pannier racks on-line some weeks ago, they've finally arrived today. However since enclosed is what I believe are the minimalist fitting instructions and my German doesn't extend much beyond "Ein bier bitte" & "Ich bin ein englander!", hopefully installing them isn't going to prove too difficult!
Anyone got any tips? |

| They can't be as bad as Givi instructions can they.  I don't suppose it helps either when the Fehling website shows the case holders fitted to a SW-T 400 Silver Wing and not the FJS, and the photo shows 5 fixing points. I thought they might utilise existing screw holes under the mats but it looks like you might have to drill holes in the bodywork. I think an email to Fehling asking them for fitting instructions in English would be helpful to you. |

| Scan the instructions into your PC then use 'Google Translate'; you might have to do a bit of 'Copy & Paste' if there are diagrams in the original instructions.
I've done that before with foreign instructions.
Don't use 'Bing' for translations - they are useless. |
