Trax boxes with inner bags.
Givi top box thing for day to day stuff.

So many great luggage systems available nowadays.
See below, an interesting video showing the easy clip-off rails you mentioned Steve.

Just buy a GS Adventure rack and pannier set on fleabay and fit that instead, way better than varios.

I hunted high and low, looked at the lot, Jesse, Touratech, Givi you name it, went for Bumots from Adventure Bike Shop. Metal Mule quality without the price, really great kit.

For me it was the SW Motech Trax panniers. As they look great and the ease of taking them off aswell as the racks. also they withstand a off quite well as i found out the other day.

Just use pannier inner bags and all your stuff will stay clean, dry and not fall out when you open the lid

What he said (thumbs) I love the fact that I can put them on and filter easily when day tripping through heavy traffic to air shows etc. and then expand them to store my helmet in one side and jacket in the other. Most metal panniers seem ridiculously wide except for Jessie's
