NFieldGear will soon have you covered: http://www.nfieldgear.com/military-hard-bags-luggage-system/

This is a good looking set, but to my eyes, the top case doesn't really fit in. The cost is a little pricy, but from what I read, this is a custom set. Now if they will release these cases for my cream color C5, I would be very interested.

$895.95

But judging by the pics, that includes all of the mounting hardware too.

One of my great disappointments was when RE dropped the steel panniers and crashbar on the Military models. The panniers were crude and noisy - in other words PERFECT!!

I think I would be inclined to bolt on a couple of ammo cans. Those are Honda prices.

I wonder what the "Blue Garage" (or ebay equivallent) hard panniers would look like on a military bike?

They look great on a regular C5, and are very affordable.  B.G. paints them your bike color too.  You do need to do a little bracket fabrication though.

It might look cool?

Might, but I think it would detract from the "military" look. Just sayin'.  :)

Looks like they dropped the price to $695
I'm not a fan of the huge top box, but the rest of the set up looks good.
