@josh @fredtc @MisterMikkel Thank you all very much!
@jambon Technically they're flat bars, not risers, you should try them and embrace the comfort of ze mega german tekking stylings. Also, these flaps are amazing combined with long guards, my feet are so dry! However I did have to put some bends in them because the material was a bit stiff and would cause the mudguards to bend up when the flaps hit the back slope of speed bumps as I went over them.
@Thrasher @Tijs @ough @TM I don't mind it being a bit short, but what bugs me more is that the nose is too pointy for this frame so it gets crumpled up a bit and I cant move the bag back any further because the lower strap would be right over the DT bosses. However its a small niggl,. It fits fine on my other bikes, so I'll live with it.
In other news I find my rando bag a bit small for daily shopping etc so I've got a 'large' Wald basket (aka the 1392) like this:
which I'm going to pop on the rack once I've finished my negations to get a custom bag made to fit it. May also put my Tubus Vega back on too to allow me to move long objects without being 2m wide.
