If you are looking for luggage to go on a **9, see my thread on Product reviews under Ventura luggage.
It's not Ventura luggage so I should probably have started a new thread but the product is very good and can thoroughly recommend it. Its fits like it was made for the bike and is good value for money.
i used soft panniers on my 749 and it was fine, one thing i would say be careful of, is if you have a mono subframe on a 03/04 bike, be careful home much weight you put on it mine snapped
