Lots of useful threads here about luggage - but haven't seen anyone so far fit this combo, so some pics below if anyone is interested. Quick recap/rationale:
Total price - for topbox rack, plate, pannier racks, luggage and pannier inner bags was £867 - then down to £780 with a discount from my insurance.
Forgive the slightly janky pics - I have the characteristic UK a) lack of space and b) blistering sunlight only/exclusively at the one time I didn't want it. (There are captions on the gallery page if anyone wants more detail )
- Skipped BMW topbox and rack - bike is my main transport so I use the topbox a lot and the BMW one is too small, especially as I want it to hold 2 helmets
- Skipped BMW panniers since they are relatively expensive and conversely only use them a couple of times a year
- Spent way too long comparing options - had it down to Shad & Givi - interestingly near identical price here in the UK (Givi mounts were more expensive, vs cheaper cases)
- Initially went for Shad topbox; the mounts did not fit well (Shad haven't officially supported 2023 model yet) and would have required some persuasion. Was on the fence about the expanding topbox, so opted to switch to Givi.
