Street Twin Panniers

So I've come to the conclusion I need panniers. Looked at Triumph Black Waxed / Leather panniers. They appear too large for my liking. Then went to SW-Motech where I looked at the LC-1's and LC-3's, as well as their Blaze Sport Saddlebag System for Street Twins. I was thinking either the LC-1's or Blaze Sports would fit my liking but then after viewing pic's of the mounting systems, I decided to download the instructions of said both systems. Turns out, neither SW-Motech mounting system will work on a Street Twin if you have Triumph's Grabrail or Grabrail / Rack installed. Guess I just might have to go with the larger Triumph Waxed Cotton / Leather panniers. Unless of course someone out there knows of a better solution?

There are also oval nylon panniers by Triumph for that bike 15 litre per side. They are very nicely made and look quite sharp on my Thruxton R ( same panniers,slightly different hanger on the R) My only complaint is that they are a bit small, but then you are looking for something smaller than the waxed cotton jobs.

Venture has just released their bag system for the street twin/T120. The rack requires removing the complete T120 handrail assembly as this is where their frame bolts to. Ideal for ST's as there is no handrail assbly and is easily installed. Am considering one for myself, having side bags makes filtering a bit hard.

It would appear I was mistaken regarding the SW-Motech Blaze Panniers. The (removable stem) mount would not interfere with the grabrail section on my Street Twin. I viewed a product video of these panniers at RevZilla. Think I found the panniers I need. Thanks again for all your suggestions.
