When you figure out panniers/luggage is actually awesome

I just have a top box and it has never been off the bike since new. It is actually a pelican case bolted to the rack. Work well but I have lots of room and the bike has a factory rack with threaded holes to bolt it to.

I think if things go the route of needing more storage, I'll be thinking of getting something more suited for sport touring instead of working my little 600 like a donkey
FJR1300 maybe...
600's can tour just fine
Paid enough for my side cases and should use them more as I currently only use them when touring.
I find myself using a waterproof rear bag for most things as I can pack my rain liner, rain gloves and other things I need handy on an all day trip without the bulk and width of the side cases.
What takes them to next level is getting some sidecase liner bags to allow you to take the luggage to your hotel room without lugging the side cases.

Sometimes I even take a spare bike.
All my MTB gear fits in the hard panniers and provides lockable storage for boots and Motorcycle gear while on the trail. Helmet just gets a cable lock to the frame.
No it dose not affect handling unless you are riding way way above the limits of HTA.

I love those Givi V35's
have had them on 2 bikes
one was a blue FZ6 like this one
they suit the bike really well
Yup. The top case only goes on when my wife comes for a ride. Otherwise, it's just the side cases around town. I'll add a tank bag and waterproof duffle for overnighters.
The case on the left side contains various tools and equipment (rain gear, tire patch kit, air compressor, ROK straps, first aid, etc.). The right side case, the larger of the two, is for clothes. All the camping gear fits in a 25L duffle (tent, sleeping bag, Thermarest, camping chair, etc.). Snacks, water, hat, spare gloves, phone, and assorted small items in the tank bag.
It's a good set up, works well for me.
PP, it sounds like you've got it all figured out. Swap out your strap on bag for a waterproof roll top bag, and you'll never be concerned with rain again.
If Canada ever legalizes lane-splitting, you'll all be ditching the panniers and going back to top-case only.
That's what all the bikers do in Europe. And if they need more carrying capacity, they'll maybe mount a single pannier on one side. Looks weird, but it's still slimmer than two panniers.
