ahv a Ventura rack and bag and use a pair o cheapie Oxford side panniirs slung over the rack and under the Ventura bag. It keeps them nice and high and away frae the cans.
The only thing ye need tae do is put a bit o tape on each side o the tail piece tae prevent any chaffin.
Works a treat

Nah, cant say I,ve ever noticed on the T, as ah said works fine, nice and compact and secure, nae bungees really needed either ( the ones in the piccy were there just tae haud on other crap ah wiz carryin. The bag sits over a large extension handle on the rack in a special insert pocket and is rock solid
Done lots o fast miles wi this set up wi nae issues, in fact ahm away tae the TT this year wi the same.
Only thing wi the Venturas bags is (and maist luggage is the same) is tae pack yer stuff in a strong bin liner as in a proper monsoon will leak thru the zips eventually.

Here are the bags I mentioned a week ago, they hold about 9-10 liters per side, and are expandable to almost double that size. (expanded may not be good if you lane split)
I think they're well made, easy to put on, no frame required.
They have inserts to keep them in proper shape if not fully loaded.
Didn't include rain covers, but do on the larger model (CL-950) I'd probably just give them a coat of scotch guard, and put my clothes in plastic bags inside.
They have a neoprene pad to avoid scratching the bike.
The backs have additional clips built in to attach a top seat bag.
going to the Texas hill country this weekend, supposed to be a pretty great ride, will let you all know how the bags work out.

That's exactly what I was looking for! I've been and bought myself a Fasma tank bag and it seems to be pretty good so far!
