Welcome to the fold.

TKC80s are always a good tyre choice, I've done at least 150,000 miles on them. Decent enough offroad (there are better but it's a trade off with on road use), and they OK on tarmac in the wet. I did Senegal and back on a 1200GS Adventure on one set of tyres, so as long as you are gentle with them the mileage is OK.

I have some 'well-used' panniers (Yamaha OEM) which I will be selling shortly, need to try to remember how to get the pannier rails off the bike... I'll post details in a couple of days.
