What are my options in regards to panniers. Looking for something that is comparable in size to FJR panniers. I know Touratech makes them, but who else?
These will be used for Two-Up on 16-18 day trips.

what volume are the FJR bags? Pretty small I think? The OEM Yamaha bags are probably about the same size (64l_. For a good, medium sized economical setup, the Givi E36's (36 litre per side) are good, someone just posted pics here http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=2767.180
Most of the others are a bit larger/wider/more expensive - although happy trails do a small version that might suit you. You should find some pics in that same thread.
Having moved from a FJR to the ST and wanting small panniers on most of the time, I went for givi 21 litre crusier type panniers. http://www.givi.co.uk/Side-hardbags/Monokey-/E21-CRUISER , they're big enough for most short trips but are not as well made as the E35 and E48's.
I have Givi E48's , but these are large and stick on the side of the bike like two fridges!!!
I have a 52l Givi Maxia top box and am waiting for delivery of the MT1-OC from Muffintop, soon as Wendell gets them back from the painter: http://muffintopindustries.com/
Great price and he will do custom work if you want.
