With apologies for the poor quality of the pictures, but you can still see them well enough, here are the pictures of the VFR1200X fitted with ther Givi aluminium panniers.
The two side panniers are 37 L capacity and the top box is 58 L capacity. The top box is not small, as noted in some of my other posts. However, I can still open both my side panniers with the top box on, just!

Looks great. They look solid and have excellent tie-down points for even more gear like dry bags. Can you still fit a passenger? I'm surprised at how far forward the panniers sit on the bike.
Yes there is room. I would have preferred the side panniers sat a couple of inches further back though ...
Where does the kitchen sink go

Even with original Honda panniers rear seat legroom is too small, at least for my pillion wearing shoes size 41
Looks very good, MrKiwi
Lots of space for a long tripp in to the desert
Yes, space for everything other than lots of fuel
Think we had a few years ago a Varadero from down under with jerrycans instead of panniers. Not yours ?
Just curious... what was the price you paid for the set?

No I believe that was an Australian owner.

I need to dig my receipts up and add this up.
