A mate of mine has a 1098 (I have a Multistrada), he's going on a trip to France in a couple of weeks & needs to get some luggage/rack system. One system he's found is Ventura, does anyone have any experience of Ventura or can suggest another make?
Using this thread as an inspiration, here's what I ended up with. I'm quite happy with the results.
I ordered the new Givi E300B White topcase from my local dealer.
I then bought a used pillion seat online, removed the padding, and mounted the Givi base plate to it as shown in this thread. When test fitting, I noticed that while not touching, the base plate came very close to the bodywork, so I decided to cut a sheet of 1/4" plastic down to size using the pillion seat as a template in order to have the baseplate sit a little further away from the bodywork.
I use my bike almost exclusively in the summer months. This topcase will come in handy for running errands, groceries, and those long trips.
I have 2 Ducs, 3 Gixxers and one Yamaha. I tour on the 848. It's a ton of fun. Saddle bags and a middle bag and I'm good for a week or more. I tend to scout out nice places to ride, stay some where for a couple of days to ride all the roads I've previously chosen and carry my solo cowl with me so I can ditch all the bags and go have some fun.
And wonder, where do you purchase these fuel tanks? I want to be able to do long touring runs but, sometimes fuel range can be a problem as its harder to find gas stations late night when you're in the middle of no where. Any help on this setup would be great.
don't forget the bicycle rack on the front of the ducati, you might want to take a break on a long road trip and ride you bicycle.......... stretch those legs out....
