Are there any specific panniers for an M750 (guessing the other M bikes are the same)? Or will Oxford ones or similar work ok?

Cheers

My early M900 has DP "semi-soft" panniers (fabric with rigid plastic inner shaper) which I bought off eBay a few years ago. They're black, logo-ed, zipped and expandable, with insulated bases to keep exhausts (un-baffles Vipers aren't silencers!) heat at bay. They fit with sturdy velcro straps under/over the seat and to a fitted wire framework that's not too obtrusive when they're removed (I had to use spacing washers to fit this, as they came off a later model Monster than mine). Having carrying handles, they become convenient luggage when checking into a hotel.

They've been fine over several thousand miles of hard all-weather use in the UK & abroad. I use strong plastic bags as liners, but there hasn't been noticeable water ingress through the fabric outers, even in heavy rain.

Maybe there are still some of these DP panniers out there somewhere?

Very few about I'd imagine. Though I'll keep an eye out for some
