Ducati luggage rack - YES

In October, I bought my used S. Came with the Ducati luggage rack. I am really glad it did. I probably wouldn't have paid for one new, but I use it all the time. It makes a great mount for the tail bags I use (BMW smaller one & Chicane tail bag). Bags mount very securely. Plus, the thing doesn't look bad when I'm not using the tail bag, which is most of the time.

I like the versatility of being able to use a tank bag & tail bag - gives me enough carrying capacity for a week-long trip.

I put the factory rack on but wasn't going to spend on that (nice) tail bag, instead I put one of my (many) tank bags on the rack, a little less sporty but very handy, although it lacks "red" in the rear end, I might paint those exhaust covers in red one day....

Meanwhile, it's pissing down here in Sydney but we expect 35C tomorrow and sunny.... weird weather downunder!!!

I've got the rack & DP tail bag. Helps make the Hyper a better commuter IMO.

When you install the rack do you have to remove the tail wing?

Yes. You actually take off a fair amount of stuff.

BMW bag

By the way,the smaller BMW soft bag is exellent. Fits on the rack very well, really well made, very versatile & holds a lot of junk.

It's actually excellent, not exellent

Some demented Ducati rider typed exellent, instead of excellent. O, that was me! I had a hard time translating eccellente into English. Excuse!
