Don't spend too much money, despite the claims by various people, just about all the cans available for SVs are to a very similar design, and don't make anything like the improvements that some people have claimed for them.
I like ART cans, made well, (the most important concern), and not stupidly expensive.

Take a look at the Hamicad fender eliminator, it's pretty easy to fit, but I dare say there'll be somone willing to help you if necessary.

Ignore what some have said about topboxes, if it makes your bike useful to you, do it, Givi and Nonfango are both good makes.
