Appart from the paint I have a similar set on my Bmw r90/6 - Quite handy for tools or excess spares after I'd filled the double adult sidecar. My set has topbox too. Not a bad price for that bike, if not to everyones taste.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Surely adding interesting handling characteristics with a CG that far aft...  ;)

I only ever upset a bike with luggage with my bmw that had a massive topbox and I filled that with tools and a gearbox, even then, only a bit upset by the weight, given careless cluch controll and too many revs, I did lift the front wheel a few times negotiating the notorious Spaghetti junction. My 550 k3 had loads of weight that far aft when me and a mate did a weeks tour of Scotland when I first passed my test. Rock steady all the way.
