Title: high pipe luggage
Post by: zedsaid on July 15, 2008, 12:02:58 PM
I've got a 696 and am curious about if anyone out there knows of saddle bags that wouldn't cook on my shiny high pipes?

I think you may have stumped the panel.  I'd recommend asking the dealer.  I don't see anything in the ducati store.

Yeah, i know there's nothing offered from Ducati specifically for the 696 (just a tank bag and a seat bag)

I was just currious if there was anything out there in the aftermarket world (not 696 specific) that anyone could point me toward.

I was thinking the same thing. I want to be able to tour Europe when i move there (leaving this god forsaken town) this summer. I know there is a bag for the seat, but with 2-up riding it becomes a backpack. I was thinking about a hard bag off the tail end like the ST has? I am sure someone will design one make lots of money now that i've suggested it...

I don't think there will be anything that could hang over the pipes but maybe outside and lower than them?

I don't think i want anything hanging under the pipes, afterall, that's why i like the high pipes...

But something with a little structure to it, that hangs over the pipes, with like an inch gap from the pipe to let the air thru (and a little heat shielding) wouldn't be bad...

I'd like to be able to take Isabella (my italian beauty) camping.
