Axio tailbag

[DucHead]

I was surprised when a search turned up nothing on this tailbag by Axio.

Does anyone have one of these?  Opinons?

[Monster Dave]

Small...fugly....not my cup of tea.

i dont think it looks that bad, id like to see it on a monster before i cast my vote though 

[stopintime]

Bag/seat cowl combo

The right color and some stripes/stickers could make this a permanent fit ...... maybe

[superjohn]

Didn't someone on TOB buy one of these? I seem to remember seeing it on a Monster, but I can't remember where?

[redial]

consider buying it and doing a full review with pics for the other members

that really doesnt look bad at all. i wonder if that bottom part is collapsable so only the hard shell part is above the seat. that would make the lines flow a lot better when its not stuffed full of gear i think.

im gonna keep this in mind for a possible touring mode addition

i wonder if that bottom part is collapsable...

Nope, not collapsable.

I've got one on my 696.  I've managed to fit more than you'd think in there...
-heated jacket
-jacket liner
-sunglasses in a case
-pack of cigarettes
-extra screen for helmet
-gloves
-wallet


It's obviously not a big touring one, and you can't store your helmet in it while eating BBQ, but it does the job great for day-rides.

Oh, and everybody makes fun of you for luggage at the beginning of the ride, but I guarantee that by the end of the day, you're carrying something for everyone in your group.

The biggest PITA about it is that it takes some creativity to get mounted up well.  I've got a system, but it took a few times to get it right.

Oh, and the faux-CF looks nothing like real CF... obviously.

does it come in a Ducati Dark version? 

[rkundrat]

hmmm.. pretty cool. Kinda wishing I had seen this before ordering the cortech sport tail bag... Looks pretty integrated based on those pics, similar to the 696/1100 DP tail bag. Nice find.

actually it does ... http://www.newenoughhp.com/image/path/22457/matte_blk.jpg


I just ordered one from new enough along with some riding pants ( riding in jeans is gettin old.)

[scduc]

Yeah, it looks alot better then I thought. I was thinking about getting the Cortech tail bag but after see that one, may have changed my mind. Try to get a pic from the back.

[Takster]

I don't have a photo from the back on my computer right now, but I think it looks best from that angle.  It actually matches the profile of the seat almost exactly, and mirrors the angles from the tail light.  I'll see if I can dig one up tomorrow on my work computer.

I ordered  a black matte one from new enough ( got to give a dollar to the site ... Woo!) along with a star cargo pants, getting tired of using a backpack all the time.  By the dimensions posted I may be able to fit in my laptop which I take to work most days.It should be at my house tomorrow. ill try to get some pics up.
