Box / panniers for my SV650

I have a K6 SV650 (2mths old) and would like to get a box / panniers so that I can venture further afield and take stuff with me.

I don't want to get a tank bag or rucksack but would like to be able to remove the box / panniers easily.

I would appreciate some advice on what I need to buy.

Thank you
Richard

I got some oxford sport throw over panniers, pretty quick to fit when you're used to them and good for a week's + worth of holiday stuff before expandong, so probably could take a good fortnight's worth of kit when expanded. They're stable at autobahn speeds too and set the black off quite nicely with their metallic silver colur.

Thanks Tim

I don't want to get a tank bag

Richard...I don't know how anyone can use a tankbag on an SV? How would you see the speedo? Has anyone tried this?

I use a tank pad on my sv as you can see on the pic

speedo is only a problem when it is fully packed and enven then you can see it

What make is that 600+ all I get from google is sticky tank pads to prevent scratches!

Yeah, not a problem at all. I really like the Oxford Humpback, it's not huge in its compressed form but it's never in the way, I could do a trackday with it on and not be too bothered, because of its shape.

But, I've got a top box now, which I'll be honest, I absolutely love. I can stick my helmet, gloves and back protector in it when I go round the shops, or throw stuff into it when I get back (once I take the helmet out...), I can pack for the AR in about 10 minutes and never once worry if the stuff's going to fall off the back... It's ugly, of course, and I take the rack off when I'm not using it (takes 5 minutes) but in terms of practicality it just wins, by an absolute mile. I'm going to get a spare monokey base and bolt it to a pillion seat for easier use too.
