    I've just purchased this luggage system for the Blade, and I'm rather excited in its arrival.

    My mate has just purchased a new Z1000 and its lovely, and has ordered this kit for his machine. Having searched for ages for decent luggage, this is very promising.

    Very good reviews and should balance the bike lovely, come holiday time.

    I'll keep you posted....

    Great. Was a little put off by the price initially, but you get what you pay for, and I'm all for that moto. Never had panniers before so will be interesting come their first outing.
    Do they upset the balance of the bike, hanging off the side like they do??

    I've always opted for saddle roll bag/Kriega bag to keep the weight as neutral as possible, and directly behind me.

    I find them very stable and I've given the bike some welly with them on, and thats with the panniers stuffed to the hilt, love them really cant fault em. Just had to keep reminding myself when filtering as not used to panniers either before I got them :)

    Cheers Guys. Looking forward to their arrival. Now my mate wants a set for his 10-plate ZZR1400 after seeing how they fit to the bike, Means he can sell on his hard luggage and have a bit more user friendly system.

    They look interesting, what kind of things will you be putting in them?

    Well they're likely to be used for bike holidays, so will be filling with clothing and the usual shower gel/deodorant combo's. Will have to be mindful of equal loading, so I don't unbalance my bike.
