Givi Trekkers and Givi 36L topcase. I like how easy the panniers load and unload off the bike, like carrying couple of suitcases. They are 33L each. SW-Motech quick release racks that I modified to fit better.





Any issues or complaints from passengers with regards to legroom or reaching the pegs? They are similar to the ones I installed on a 650 Vstrom several years ago but my wife complained, and was uncomfortable after a short ride. I am aware of the difference in the motorcycles they are attached to, just curious.

My wife says that she likes them there cause of the handles acting as a grab point.

The Wendellcases are slightly bigger and Karen has no issues with them. This is when they were fairly new and had no stickers:





Here is the other side on a solo trip, to show the relation of the box to the foot peg:

I got a great deal on eBay and I'm super happy with the OEM Side cases. I'm sure they are not the most durable of all the panniers, but for my style of riding (mostly touring with the ability to head down the path less traveled..... and the ability to pick up groceries...) they are perfect and a lot more sturdy than I thought they'd be. My only complaint is .... Why on earth did the instructions not mention the 2 different tamper resistant torx sockets that I would need to complete the installation?? This required 2 separate to Home Depot.

Givi 33 L with Givi racks.
I just rode a whole day in rain and can confirm that those Givi panniers are completely waterproof - no leakage at all. I love the feature where you can set it up so only the top portion of the lid opens. Very pleased with the product!
