Hi All, Im new to the forum and i thought i would say hi to you all! I've got a very shiney red 2011 SFs in my bat cave and im shortly going on a trip from Somerset to Scotland and i am in need of some help/ideas of luggage solutions. I am struggling! :-( Here is a pic of my pride and joy...
Bike looks the biz. Easiest way out is probably a tank bag and Kreiga R25 rucksack, otherwise go down the expensive but excellent Ventura route.
You would not believe just how much luggage can be piled onto a SF! One of my friends rode to WDW with more luggage on his SF than his riding partner had on a Kawasaki GTR. Many in our club didn't recognise the bike parked up at the Calne bike day without its luggage on! I know he has some kind of asymmetric panniers on his bike fitted to a metal rack. The one on the side with the exhaust is not as deep as the one on the other side. I think he fitted a huge tailpack on top, and also a tankbag and Kriega ruckack. Givi make pannier racks for the SF Cases, Side Hardbags, Soft Luggages, Screens, Spoilers DUCATI Streetfighter 1098
I can highly recommend using a Kriega US20 & then attach either 1 or 2 Kriega US10's . If you get some rubber matting (maplins sell it) and place that on the tail section and then strap the Kriega to the passenger seat you'll be about right and the mat will stop scratching. Then you can just detach the seat to take the bags with you in to the hotels....simples
