Jesse luggage can't be beat!
I had Give Trekkers... found I'm not a fan of clam shell opening cases. They do have the cool option of the top 1/4 opening IF you set it that way ahead of time.
I now have the Trax I got from Twisted Throttle and love them!

Holan Nomada Pro - bike specific, sturdy & solid, . Double lid hinge allows you to open either end. I am glad I purchased these panniers.

::012:: Thanks HHH, I wonder how much more room is left in the top box when a full face helmet is in there. Can you put a full face in there and post a pic?

JL, I can't today, but I have this pic saved on my phone.JMLUSA1 said:
You can fit one full face helmet, gloves, a bottle of water or such around it.
You can fit easy four gallons of milk...
I don't want to sound funny, but you can also put it sideways, then some room inside as well on top of it.
Here to have an idea for the side panniers.

Top case or side panniers? I have the Jessies and would buy them all over again. I could afford them because I saved money buying a Bestem 929 top case for $115. http://amzn.to/1phTehYjcoop4355 said:

You're very welcome, I am glad we could help.JMLUSA1 said:
One more thing about the OEM which for me was the deal maker:
The brackets for the side panniers, when you remove the panniers, it's like the brackets are not even there, so clean. As for the top box, it uses the existing base of the bike, again...so clean!!
Whichever set you decide, I know one thing for sure...
You will love the bike as a whole more and more everyday!!

Nice to know HHH, I'm only concerned that the oem top case is too small for what I need to carry in it. that would require i have the panniers as well or a soft case on the seat behind me. The soft bag is all ive had so for so the top would be bonus anyway! LOL!!! Ive been looking at S10 pictures all weekend long! and reading all about the offerings! can't wait to get to farkling! Really LOVE the World Crosser!!!!!

Who doesn't love the World Crosser...hahaha...
JL, look at the trekkers (Givi) they have three different sizes and once you have the brackets, they can be swapped around. They look really clean as well and are larger than OEM ones.

I have the Give Trekker Outback cases. They just last week shipped the first top boxes in this series to the US. I have the side cases on my '14 for the last few months with an OEM top case. Just got the new Trekker Outback top case and sold the OEM top case. I really like these. They are bigger than OEM and tougher. You can latch them closed in either the locked or unlocked position, which was important to me as most of the time I am in and out of them without locking them. They make the side cases in two sizes and the top case in two sizes, and all of them in black or raw aluminum.

Price, quality, usefulness you cant beat Happy Trails. http://www.happy-trail.com/Departments/Find-Your-Bike/Yamaha/XT1200Z-Tenere.aspx
Love the lids with hinges; cant lose them, makes a nice shelf to hold your stuff when unpacking.
Great sturdy racks. Drop tested several times.
Love the cliff cut designs, tidy tight panniers with wider tops
Currently $892 for panniers, racks powder coated, locks and lid loops. Cant beat that deal
