A pannier is a basket, bag, box, or similar container, carried in pairs either slung over the back of a beast of burden, or attached to a bicycle or ...
i didn't know, either, had to look it up :biglaugh:
most of us would just know them as saddle bags or just plain old "bags"...
JC Whitney has some, but it was something i just happened to notice - i'm not a bag guy so i don't know if the ones they have are attractive or useful :ummm:

While definatly not the cheapest option you may consider Wolfman Motorcycle luggage. They have a quality product and I am looking at getting the Beta Tail bag which have some quasi saddle bags built in. I need just a little more space than the Tourmaster bag I have now and the beta bag should do the trick.
Check out their video showing how to mount their various products.

For soft bags I prefer Nelson Rigg. They have a lifetime replacement warranty for any defects and a huge selection.
FatMax and Hepco Becker are the only hard bags available for the 1st gen V-Max with bike specific brackets. Givi is my favorite hard bag company and there is a guy in England that makes brackets to convert Givi "Wing Racks" to fit a V-Max. Unfortunately, all the hardware makes the bags stick out too high and wide. Looks really ugly to me but might be ok for you.
