[spook]

Hello all,

sorry if this has been discussed before, but Im new to the forum and to the whole Ducati thing. I have done the search and found nothing regarding my question close enough. I actually dont own a Ducati myself. What brings me here is my sister, who owns a Monster 696 and asked me to choose some luggage for her. Im in a process of choosing the luggage for my own bike (Aprilia Shiver), so I know its the best to discuss that with people who already have some experience and this is why Im posting here.

Well, she would like to buy a tankbag and a tailbag. The budget is about $350 USD. It should be stuff accessible in Europe, since there has been made some changed to the toll/tax policy in my country and its quite expensive to buy anything outside EU now. The luggage should take stuff for a 4day trip, about 10 liters on the tank (she is quite short, so there should not be any high obstacle on the tank) and about 25-30 litres on the seat. Of course waterproofness is required. I will be probably getting some Kriega stuff myself, so Im particularly wondering if anyone here has experience with those bags on Monster.

Thank you in order for your answers.

Thank you. Although it wasnt helpful for me, as Im looking for a tailbag to be placed on the pillion seat, not on a separate rack.
