Oxford Humpback Panniers.

These are good, but pretty much any will work ok. Just put them far enough back that they don't cover the pegs.

Kriega are quite dear but well worth the money because they are very versitile and excellent quality IMO. Plus you get a 10 year guarantee They do a 20L tailpack which straps onto the pillion seat securely, which already has a fairly good capacity. You can add smaller Kriega 10L packs that link into the tailpack system. Really easy to use, waterproof and sturdy.

The 10L packs also link into their backpack systems. Gives you loads of options.

I should have read the post more carefully

My friend uses the Oxford panniers. He doesn't have a problem with them at all.

Old style Oxford Sports panniers are better (bigger capacity and easier to fit to an SV) than the Humpbacks and cost less when they come up for sale on ebay. Get searching chappy.

Yer there really cool don't know if I can justify keeping them when I will only have TPF+T insurance... So they might find there way to the for sale section, but as they are in mint condition with no scuffs I would be wanting top $.

Porta-pottys rawk!

Most folk keep the boxes and sell the fixing kit when you get rid of the bike for summit else. Then buy a new fixing kit for the new one.

If you want to start going places that set up is the best available.

GIVI boxes ain't just for christmas........them for life!:)

Can't say there's anything difficult about fitting the humpback ones TBH.

But yes, the only reason I have the humpback ones is to clear a high-level exhaust.
