Hi and welcome
I've a set of the Falco panniers that I use. Not always so easy to source these days.

The Ventura system provides a big bag on the rear seat or if carrying a pillion, farther back.
You can strap a decent rucksack on the seat using the grab handles. With a little invention I reckon you could make that 3 of them, two as panniers.
The tank is flat so you can get a lot of stuff on that too. I have the Baglux cover but not the bag and use a combination of bags, tents etc. strapped onto the bag’s mounting points.

Kriega, 2x 10ltr packs, 1x 20ltr pack, so 40 ltrs in total but it's very versitile and they've also brought out a single 30ltr pack so you can strap two 10 or 20lts to it, there's also a tank bag strap that you can buckle a 5/10/20ltr pack too, unclip two straps when filling up. 100% waterproof and no need for extra covers, a simple mini padlock through one of the buckles adds to security.
Gets good reviews in Ride mag, have done 6-8 250 mile journeys with them
Worth checking website
BTW shouldn't this be in the Falco section?

i use the older version of that bag - works well with my high mounts
jadaris now uses a full aprilia luggage set - panniers and tail roll - the panniers are scarce but i would rate them
the oxford humpback system works well on the falco - craig now has a set for his falco
(Bar the tail bag... pita getting that on with the panniers until you have practised a few times!)

Hello
There have been a couple of sets of the Aprilia brackets and panniers sold on ebay in the last couple of weeks. Both tidy looking, went for £120 and £140. Maybe some more will pop up somewhere.
