Dimensions of Explorer panniers

Would someone who has the Triumph panniers on their Explorer tell me what the outside dimensions of the bags are? I can't seem to find them listed anywhere. I'm trying to decide weather to get the Triumph luggage or somthing from the aftermarket. My main issue is size, I don't need or want a pannier large enough to hold a helmet and am more interested in bags with a narrow profile (I don't need a lot of carring capacity). I haven't seen the Triumph panniers except in pictures but they do look quite large, larger than I need, so I'm thinking about Pillican cases or TraX 37 litre boxes.
Also, does anyone know the capacity of the Triumph boxes in litres?

Thanks,
Bruce

Hey Bruce. You've seen the pics so you know they're a bit irregular shaped. I don't recall the individual liter size, but they're rated at a combined 62 liters.

The LH side case is:
Width: 18" @ the widest point & 15 1/2" @ the narrowest point
Thickness: 13" @ the widest & 11 1/2" @ the narrowest point
Height: 16"

The RH side case is:
Width: 18" @ the widest point & 15 1/2" @ the narrowest point
Thickness: 12" @ the widest & 7 1/2" @ the narrowest point
Height: 16"

Total width of the 2 panniers mounted on the bike is 37 1/4"
