I thought anyone looking for panniers might be interested in this. Twistedthrottle.com sells adapters for the Givi sideracks that enable you to mount Trax Alu-Box bags or Micatech bags to the Givi racks (instead of the bulbous Givi bags). The adapters are $99.99 and are made by SW-Motec (the same company that makes the Alu-Box bags). I believe the OEM bags are also Trax bags (they come in black or silver, 37 liter or 45 liter; it looks like the OEM bags are black 37 liter bags). So if you are looking for something like the OEM bags, which are unavailable as far as I know, you can get the Givi racks, SW Motec adapters, and Trax bags, as an alternative, and have basically the same equipment. The whole package cost me about a grand, including two sets of locks. The racks fit perfect; two of the holes in the adapters were a little off and needed to be drilled, but that was no big deal to do, and now everything fits perfectly. I think they also have adapters for the Hepco and Becker racks. Also, the adapters don't cause the bags to stick out any more than usual. So, all in all, the whole thing works pretty well.
