Best Luggage for CBR600F - 2002

Hello all those not necessary older, but certainly more experienced out there.

Very long story short, after recommendations for panniers & tail bag with decent litreage for my CBR600F (2002 Standard).

Have found a full set from Autokicker on E-Bay for £100, but slight reluctance as when looking at the photos I am uncertain if they would lie along the top of exhaust. Have also been looking at Oxfords, but shirking at the price.

Any suggestions/recommendations/comments appreciated - really am a complete noob with regards to this.

Cheers Mr. Green

Hard or soft?

For soft panniers I swear by the Oxford ones, but not the 1st timers. I think it's the sport range that have a flap that opens at the top, which makes loading and unloading while on the bike so much easier.

For hard luggage, get a Kappa rack and some 21l panniers. That'll be nice and compact and should be enough capacity if you pack carefully.

c-m is spot on there, Oxford lifetime soft panniers. I have done tens of thousands of miles with mine with no issues.

Cheers for the advice - got a Hein Gericke in Lincoln so may have a wee nosy and hands on with the Oxfords.

That said - did note the thread on the Autokickers and the price is certainly appealing! As mentioned just wary of the drop on the panniers and whether they will end up on top of the exhaust.
