Side panniers

[darrsi]

Dunno if anyone can advise me on this?
I've been looking at side panniers for my bike, but already have the Givi top box plate fitted with the long side arms.


My question is, if I was to buy side panniers would there be a clash with the current bracketry?


I don't want to order them to then find out I have to remove my top box to make them fit. Especially as the ones I want will probably come from Germany.


Anyone have any tips or advice please?

I don't know that this will be of any help be here goes.
When I wanted to fit panniers to my FZS600 I got some Non-Fango panniers cheap only to find I couldn't get any fixing brackets to suite my bike. I ended up making my own and still keeping my Givi topbox arms etc for support at the back. Shown in these photo's.
I decided later these panniers where to big and heavy, probably because I always ended up filling them.
I now have the small Givi panniers and modified my brackets to suite them. Again I couldn't find any Givi brackets available to suite the FZS600 bike.
I now travel lighter on my camping trips etc. and still survive without too much hardship.

As you can see i like to travel light, but don't always achieve it.

So looking at your first photo I can see the long arm for the Givi rack, then the pannier bracket going over it, which is promising.
