Givi are pretty good, best value option is to get some sw-motech racks
which will take any box you want to fit, for the blackbird look here

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/23/93/

for the side case mounts, and here

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/159/93/

if you want a topbox as well, then just add which ever givi box you want
from here

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productlist/127/

Cost is $330us + the cost of the cases depending on which ones you get,
you could get away with the entire set for about $800us if you don't go
for overly fancy boxes.

Thanks for that. Looks like a much cheaper deal. But the Corbin ones are pure
porn. : )

Hopefully for someone to say: "Here are ones just like that and half the price"
or "Here is a place where you can get them 75% off" or "I've got an old set and
I've sold the bike. You can have them for $50".

That sort of thing.

It didn't need bricks; just the week's gear and it was very light at the
front. (Not to mention very very top-heavy!)
It was relegated to the shed after that GP trip.

The Corbin beetle bags also very sleek and wrap around the rear
bodywork. Any other after marker panniers (and even the rebadged Givi
setup that Honda sell) are tacked onto either side of the bike.. and the
bird already has a very wide tail. Makes for a very wide bike at the
arse end.
