I use Kapa, they are made at the Givi factory, but if you're on a budget they work out a lot cheeper and do the job well. They also fit on the Givi wingrack system. There are some good deals on ebay, I managed to get 2 x 40ltr Paniers and a 45ltr Top Box Ex Shop Demos for ?150 and a second hand Wingrack for ?50.

Cheers,
Del :yo:

try these sw motech racks - i got one from pete before he stopped. jaws does them now. easy to fit, and you don't have a load of scaffolding like you do with wingrack.

jaws does them now i think. try doing a search under sw motech and you'll find out more about them. or just give john a bell or pop him an email - i'm sure he'll be able to help.

you can get locks for the racks, i think they were about ?20 or so - they just replace the front set of screws. the panniers lock to the rack themselves. i'm totally happy with sw motech system - they are certainly strong enough - in fact they kept the exhausts off the ground when i had a nasty scrape in france in the summer :bang:
