I just wondered what you always carry in topcase/pannier.
For my case, flat tire quick repair bombe, water bottle(for injury or some emergency use), discrock, rainware, and rucksack.
Mine is 32L GIVI.

I haven't fitted pannier yet, how do you separate your luggage left and right? Some bike has many cases(like Harley FLH, gold wing), I wonder how they use each of them.
Once I asked police bike what there is in the rear white box, it was space for radio.

In the top box, I've got: wet weather gear (well, for those few days when I don't actually have to wear it from the start), hi-vi vest (if I'm not wearing it), A-Z of London, London motorcycle parking map (shows all bike bays in London), water bottle, two Waitrose bags-for-life (heavy duty shopping bags which the shop - Waitrose - replaces for nothing once you make the initial purchase at about 10p), spare helmet if I know I'll need it that day.

Under my seat I've got my U-lock, handywipes, hairbrush and handbag. If I carry anything heavy, it goes there, too.

Handbag hook is for emergencies only, i.e., I've got one too many shopping bags.

Glovebox is for torch, the original repair kit, a spanner for my mirrors (the left one keeps moving, and apparently cannot be repaired), copy of the insurance certificate, my recovery (Direct Line) and Puncture assistance documentation.

I put the kitchen sink wherever there's any room left! (Kawashima-san: there's an English saying 'Everything but the kitchen sink', meaning you carry way too much stuff, in fact, you're carrying everything you can think of except the kitchen sink).

maybe if you take the lock off your wallet there'll be more space for other stuff.

I always carry too much stuff. My weekend : I bring 2-3 bike magazines, ride to restaurant far from house, eat and read them drinking coffee, then return to house. This is my paradise.

I only have a little pouch on the back of mine and the only thing I can fit in it is my lock.

If I need to carry anything else it goes in a rucksack.
