I've just swapped my soft panniers for Givi hard luggage. We had the soft luggage racks on the Tiger and were running with the Oxford Sports panniers. Apart from the hassles with strapping everything on the bike each morning the soft panniers did the job just fine, the main reason for swapping was mostly the ability to stop during the day on our trips and park up the bike without having to worry the luggage being safe.
Have a look at the
Oxford Sport panniers site. They also have a couple of other ranges. The Sports panniers come with rain cover tucked in it's own dedicated hidden pocket.
If you compliment the panniers with a
Touratech/Ortlieb packsack roll closing Q RACK PACK Size L yellow you get about 115L of luggage, enough for long trips two up....
Regarding the soft pannier racks - no idea where these originated from, they came with the bike. They're definately Tiger specific as they were fitted around the exhaust, apart from that hopefully someone else might be able to shed some light on it's origins....
