01 RS luggage question

I have acquired a 3 box Kappa lugage set (K961 sides and K48 top), complete with indicator-equipped Wingracks and a mounting plate for the topcase. However, I'm not convinced that I want to have these Wingracks permanently on the bike. I am interested in the SW Motech side carriers for use with my Triumph luggage rack for the top box.Does anyone already use this combination? Or should I sell the Triumph rack and Wingracks, and fit a full SW Motech arrangement? Any advice gratefully received.

I don't have the rack for the top box but I do have the Motech side plates to mount Givi bags on my RS. I like being able to easily take them off; there are just three quarter-turn fasteners on each side. I didn't really care for the relocated turn signals so I mounted some smaller indicators in the stock location.

Here's a pic of the bike with the bags on

Seumas, thanks for your reply. It was one of your previous posts and that photo that got me interested in moving from soft panniers to hard cases and SW Motech frames! Your bike looks great, and like you, I want side cases with soft bag for tent on top when camping. However, I also fancied the top case for commuting or occasional 3 box use. Your indicator solution also appeals as the I want the bike to look "normal" 90% of the time.
