Simple 35L Pelican cases. I really like them.
Looks good! Are those the iM2600 Storm cases? That's what I'm running... I couldn't see spending roughly $400 per box after purchasing the mounting hardware. They are virtually indestructible and easily replaced should the need arise....

What is the canister you have mounted on the front of your case?
That's one of those agri tool/document tubes. Google or Search here. Very popular.

The cannisters are the ones you get from Twisted Throttle. I put them on front instead of the back to break up the air hitting the front of the Pelican cases. It really worked in saving on gas. I get 3 mpg more than before
I got the cases from BugDr. here on the forum. He threw in the manual tubes. I have two 30 oz. MSR gas bottles in them..... Just in case...
The racks are SWMotech.

Nice looking.

How do they mount?
I've got a Touratech rack and I used the mounting pucks they included with the pannier. The pucks are nearly identical to the set sold by Touratech with the minor difference of, you know, not costing $90 a set.

I just managed to buy a used pair of TRK 33 panniers, which are in 'as new' condition, a GIVI PLR2119 fitting kit is on its way from Italy (much cheaper than the U.K).

Will post pics when its all fitted ::008::

For those of us in the states, you can get European brands for soooo much cheaper (Sidi, Held, Givi, etc.) when you buy internationally. I bought a pair of Held Air 'n Dry gloves for $70 under the price it would have been in the states from MotoIn.de. You can get a pair of Givi Outback Trekker panniers for $641 SHIPPED from MotoStorm.it.

This was super relevant when the Euro was almost as low as the dollar. Not so much now but you can still get a great discount.

Make note though: Try your best to get your item shipped through DHL. DHL will hand off the item to USPS once the package gets to the States and USPS will only check your package once in a blue moon to see if it should be tariffed. FedEx and UPS will almost always check for tariff-able items and will send you a customs bill in the future. There's a whole thread on ADV about this:

That's a nice set up!
Best part is that the Gobi's are built like bulls. Went down once and all that happened is that small scratch by the emblem...though the engine guards probably took the brunt of it...
