Looks like plenty of room in those bags!
Maybe room for twins?

This looks like the perfect solution for Chestnut and her new mini human!
Yikes, that is a wide topcase...I'm guessing you don't have panniers installed? If you do, I don't think you will be able to tilt them open without hitting the top case.So for the givi 58L outback trekker topcase what mount and mounting hardware do I need?
Can you actually tilt open the Outback Trekkers (not plain Outbacks) completely without hitting the 58l Outback Trekker top case?the side panniers (outbacks) open with the 58l outback top case, there is enough play in the lids to open and close fine.
Looking to add some basic storage without breaking the bank.
Please let me know if I am missing anything:
Givi 1111FZ Monorack Sidearms Honda NC700X 2012-2014 (~100$)
Givi E21s or Kappa 21Ns (~180$) or Givi E22Ns (~225$)
Kappa 35N (~60$)
Did I miss anything?
Any other recommendations?
Do I need an extra mount for the 35N?
Had a few additional questions:
What are the Givi PLX1111 and PL1111?
Do they serve the same function as the 1111FZ but cost more or are they something I will need?
If so, is that instead of the 1111FZ or in addition to?
If in addition to, should I instead be looking at the SW-MOTECH Quick-Lock Evo Side carrier?
Is the primary advantage of the SW-MOTECH Quick-Lock Evo Side carrier that it fits a much wider variety of brands?
Thanks.
They look good.As Promised... here's photos of the above leather bags on an NC700x.

From the side, they look quite a bit bigger than they are. I'd rather have the Nelson Rigg CL-855s for cross country touring, but these are enough to get my humble technicians gear out to the schools where I work.

Looking back, you can see that they aren't especially deep. They don't stick out as much as other bags I've had, but they do have a certain good looking style... something I don't usually care much about.

The bags are meant to be tied together with the bits of leather shoe lace they come with in the holes you can see here. That would wor, but it's not especially adjustable, and you can't get it apart quickly enough for filling up with gas (petrol).
The nylon QR straps are an inexpensive addition and solve both problems: Fine adjustment, and Quick Release.
(I have the same QR buckles on each side of each bag, four of them total, so that when I undo these on top, the bags can't just fall off)

Here's what they look like from the rear.
Overall, they are good quality, leather, saddle bags for $60. I would recommend them!
They look good.
Could the straps be routed under the rear seat to allow getting at the gas cap without removing? I would worry about quick release being to obvious and quick for a thief.
You could always take the buckles and straps off and use zip ties,then it may be thin enough to fit under seat.
I'm on my third set of saddle bags...
