I had a set of givi trekker outback cases. One of the latches wore out where it attaches to the bike. No replacement parts are available for these cases, aside from replacement.

I won't be buying Givi cases again.

With that said, I'm still using the Givi Racks as an attachment point for the Mosco Moto Panniers. They do have a lockable latch built in(lock not included), as well as an optional cable lock.
I did need to make some spacers to attach the pannier mounts, instead of grinding off the Givi mounting lugs.

I have looked at these and like them but I hear quite a few ppl complaining about the locks just about breaking their ignition key. Also read ppl saying if they had to do it again they would go with this or that product. So honestly it’s causing me to be leary
I had this happen on a rented ST earlier this year. The ignition key got stuck in the Yamaha OEM pannier and was a pain in the ass to remove and so I never locked that pannier out of fear of breaking the only ignition key I had.

@Don T and his wife have been traveling the Americas for well over a year now. They're on Honda CRF 300s and use Mosko Moto luggage. I don't "think" the ones they use need mounting hardware. The stayed with us back in November '23. We did some maintenance on the bikes, and I don't remember seeing any framework. I do remember it being extremely heavyweight. Tony (spelled Tonny) raved about the luggage and the company's customer service.

Here is my setup. Used on the tenere and dr650. I have found no downside yet. I imagine the coolers would make great sliders if I went down. Yet to experience that one.

These are Brooks Autosports panniers. I've had them for 5 trouble free years. Sometimes I definitely overload them and no issues. They never come off except to do a thorough cleaning.

Left side is slightly smaller than right due to exhaust but the entire width across the rear is even. (If that makes sense. Sorry it's late. Haha)
I'll try and find a rear picture.
Love the colour scheme, looks great
