Are those throw overs both sides in one item? I've got a load of kriega bags that I've been using which are a lot better than the boxes but they are a bit of a faff to get strapped up each time I head off.
KTM are apparently releasing a Superduke1290 GT in the next few weeks which should have the best of both worlds.
Both sides plus the bag on top as a complete unit. (I think..) Thing is I already have a KTM dry bag to strap across the pillion which is cavernous and fully waterproof so I'm not sure I need the the top bag. I have been looking at these: Enduristan - Monsoon III Saddle Bags - Soft Panniers I think the Mosko stuff is even stab-proof, which is probably a bit over the top for where I'm likely to be going. The thing about Zen Overland gear is that its likely to have been tried and tested on a trip.
Haha mirrors are good, even in triple figures! I was paranoid of falling and moved them around in a vain attempt to not damage them if I crashed.
