There's now't up with that garden! It's lovely in the summer, it's just a pity that the builders are in the process of trashing it :cry:
Anyway, Russ, the top box is excellent, I've run it all winter for work and not a drop of water has got in. The panniers have yet to be put to the test. I've run with Givi kit for years now, its never let in water or broken. The only reservation I have is that the 'Keyless' panniers only have a three digit combination for the opening panel. I've not tried with these but usually it takes me less than 3 mins to open something with three digits. It's easy enough though to fit an additional internal lock to make life a bit harder for petty pilferers (lets face it though, if someone really wants to, they will get into anything).
Did a bit of shopping around but prices were much the same all over, this kit ended up coming from M&P. If you are going to buy some, make sure you get the right colour code off the Givi web site. I ended up phoning Givi UK to get the correct codes and ordering instructions for the dealer (half the dealers I talked to didn't have a bloody clue what I wanted or how to order it - stunning stupidity!)
