I had the givi wingrack with 3 cases fitted, but parted with the setup fairly soon afterwards.
If you have a 98/99 bike you will need to buy later 2000 onwards rear footrest hangers for the wingrack to attach.
One reason I sold it onwards was that the other half couldnt get on the bike with them fitted - sounds hilarious but it's something to bear in mind if she's small. And that was with Givi e21 litre side cases.
The other reason - if you get the 3 pannier Givi case setup your other half will need very small feet - the edges of the side cases are practically over the top of the rear footrests, leaving minimal space for feet.
Pictures of my old setup linked in the last post on this other thread:

Instead I would go for a rear monorack Givi Hard Case setup, so you could use it to lock away essentials. Then you could add soft panniers under the rear seat & a tankbag to carry more gear
