What size cases?

Hello all.
I haven't posted much in the past but was looking for some advice from anyone who has panniers fitted to their Ten. I will be ordering a set of ARD cases tomorrow and was after opinions on the best size to get. I know it all depends on what you will be using them for and how much you intend carrying. I was after opinions on what best suits the bike. I would rather have more space but don't want to go to big for the bike. Either 34L or 37L I'm thinking.
Thanks in advance.

If you go bigger (wider) then these, you'll be wider at the rear than your handlebars and that's not good.

These are big enough for most occassions at 8" and plenty heavy enough. They're rock solid when mounted and well made. If you pop along to Sainsbury's and get a couple of their bag for life jobbies, they fit in perfectly so you can just pull your stuff out and pop the lid back on when you arrive.. Simples.. They make a great platform across the top of the panniers and back seat to strap other stuff too assuming you've not got a pillion.

+1 Personally I'd always stick to luggage that is no wider than the handlebars, or this might happen...

Thanks for the replies. Think I will go for the 8 inch wide 34L. Definitely do not want an accident like the one in the clip! Will post up a pic as soon as they arrive and I get them fitted. From what Roger at ARD Cases was saying there seems to be a run on them so may have to wait a few weeks.
Thanks again.

my 46lt trekkers are about 1" wider than the bars max and never had a problem filtering in traffic , its allways pricks in audi and bmws the close the gap on me because they don't like people getting past them as their stuck in traffic
