My thoughts exactly @Helmut Visor

 

My bad, I thought you asked for ideas and preferences. Happy to hold my own in future

 

Going back about 7 years I owned a standard Bonneville Newchurch.
With the wife as pillion we used Kriega Duo soft panniers, I can't recall the capacity now, and had the Kriega 30 and 20 litre dry packs strapped together on the rack to carry all our gear to Spain and France a few times.
Although we were well loaded down there were no problems whatsoever, in any respect.
Granted I was not riding to any extremes, we were on holiday and not on a machine given to riding on the edge, so I can't truthfully give any worthwhile opinion as to the effect on the handling .
I can however state that the Kriega kit was completely waterproof and more than up to the job.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending their products or using them again for any journey requiring transportation of clean, dry luggage.

 

I have a set of Triumph bags somewhere that i have made adapters to use as throw overs if you don't have rails. If interested give me a shout with an offer including postage.
