i wouldnt count on fitting a laptop in there!!! unless u have a truly mobile pc


i ended up winning a dowco fastrax bag from ebay, which is a very very nice bag.

the only problem is it is too big for the monster seat, and i cant seem to get it tight enough to not move around on me. the bag is very big, but not big enough for my laptop

i think in the future ill grab a dark axio, which like someone said already, looks like it fits perfectly!!

No reasonably sized laptop will fit in the AXIO bag.

Yea it was wishful thinking being my current puter is the smallest one ive ever had. oh well, i still got a lot of stuff in there over the weekend. Flip flops, pair of shorts, 2shirts, wallet, cell, sunglasses. With the cargo net I got a full 3/2 wetsuit  and a kite boarding harness on top.


Some one was asking for some pics of the back so i took a few with the cellphone.

Man, I really love how that follows the lines of the bike. I haven't seen another tailbag that blends so well with the Monster...

I'd def like to see a photo of all that gear in the case along w/ the wetsuit etc strapped to it. just got back from Nova Scotia and certainly would have liked to have a better means of hauling a week's worth of clothing and camping gear.  sounds like you're making good use of it, i'm still not won over by the looks of it.  i see them in the stores once in a while and keep thinking..."looks a lot like a...

Wow that's a nice looking tail bag.  Any chance anyone knows if a few textbooks could fit in there?  From the specs it seems like it would hold a couple average size text books but it's hard to tell with the way it's shaped.  I would love to get a tail bag for commuting to class instead of wearing a backpack.

I would say 2 normal sized textbooks...maybe 3-4 if nothing else in it.

I put one on my HM on top of the DP rack!

Wow that looks great on the Motard and thanks for replying :) I may just have to order one now.

Anyone know if the silver matches the Ducati silver on an '07 S2R1k?  I'm trying to decide between gambling and ordering silver or be conservative and order the black or carbon.  Thoughts?  Thanks!

You will always wonder how the silver would have looked. I'd say order the silver - it's going to look good even if it's not a match. Return it for another color if it absolutely doesn't fit your taste.

Wow too bad that axio tail bag is so small, I am currently using a cortech sport tail bag and with the sides expanded slightly it holds my 15" dell perfectly. Now if i could find some way to make the dell fit in the Axio then I would definitely use that instead. The cortech works great but looks kinda funny especially if i don't take the rear seat cowl off before i mount the tail bag on.

i bet that would match the lines of the 696/1100 even better than the 'classic' monster
