Was low on money and really wanted some front storage solution, and this was the cheapest option I could come up with. Almost fully watertight. Each pannier is only 4 liters though so they're a bit small, but better than nothing!
Hard cases make a great deal of sense to me. Clear ones where I have a clue what’s in them are brilliant! And the basket in front. I’d like to see a pair of hard cases and a big on-top basket in the back, make the whole picture snap into focus! Could use reflective tape to highlight the boxyness

It’s not stupid if it works!

That’s the spirit! Very refreshing too, sometimes I feel that there is just too much focus on gear rather than the adventure.

Curious to see how they handle the bumps. I feel like they will crack if you encounter a bumpy ride. Maybe rubber o-rings and big washers between the bolts ? Love the idea tho!

Good solution! Will they only be carrying light things, though? I don’t think the plastic will handle any significant load when pierced like that

Thanks for sharing a pic of the DIY fork adapters, I’d add washers to the U-clamp bolts to limit bending
