[DaveO749R]

Hi

I have a trip planned in April to the Ring and was considering either a decent ruck sack or tank bag (I want to travel light).

My problem is my Arlen ness leathers have a speed hump and the 749's tank is a unique sorta shape.

I have seen a advert on and Italian site for a Ducati performance magnetic tank bag made for the 749 if anybody has one or a good alternative i would welcome some feedback.


Also our trip is planned for the 13th April if anybody else is going drop me a u2u and we can show the others in my group (all gixer riders) how well the Dukes go around the ring.

KInd Regards

DP bag is great comes with a map pocket and a removeable waterproof cover.You won't get loads in,i can get 1pair lightweight trousers,3 pairs of boxers, 2 pairs of socks,2 pairs t-shirts,toothbrush & toothpaste and digi camera,mobile and docs and wallet.But it takes a degree in folding to get it all in.I've seen them occasionally on eBay usually listed in EU for about £50-60 or new from a dealers for a touch under £130.If you get really stuck i might be able to lend you mine if you sort out the postage.

Ventura rack , tank bags are a pain , especially with a hump at the front of your leathers , unless I read your post wrong
