At last I am all set for our holiday in the South of France in August, got a full set of Givi luggage, pair E41's and a E52 topbox. It has been a bit of mission, got the wing rack cheap of ebay, but no instructions! Got the panniers new but had to take them back as the code lock on one got jammed, this after having to get a set of standard cans (thanks Jim!) because the aftermarket ones touched the panniers. I am going to take some photo's and have a go at posting them later!
All set for holiday!

Well, everyone knows that the speed of light is 299,792,456 meters per second. and thats all very fine and dandy, and it explaines a lot in our universe ......or is maybe it opens up more questions than answers, and the most important of those is....what is the speed of dark?

The wing rack was £62 delivered from Ebay. (New this should be about £180)
The E41 panniers where £259 new.
The E52 Topbox was 163 new.
£484 in total, that would explain why I am skint then!

Yep, I have even cleaned the bike since I put them on!
I think my considerable bulk is enough to keep the front end down!

Yikes, I thought my E45 and twin E36 were big.
It's suprising how much weight you can lug in them withouth having a noticable effect on the handling, though it probably helps that I'm 15st.

I think the camera angle makes them look bigger than they are, the side case are 41l and the top box is 52l but it was only £3 more than the 46l box!
