So this past weekend, I took a trip down the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I'm used to just throwing my Cortech sport luggage on the SV, and having plenty of room for what I take down, and anything I buy while down there. I can also pack food, rain gear, etc.
Well, there's a problem with my S1k... the luggage doesn't work.
Because of the shape of the tail, the saddlebags don't fit well, and the tail bag won't stay upright. Even with the bungees tightened, it's still not stable.
Here's a pic of the tail bag on the S1k... in front of Grave Digger, no less.
The tail bag stayed put for the whole trip, except for the last few miles, when it decided it would be more comfortable riding on the side of the tail, while doing 80 down the interstate.
That being said, what do you all do for luggage?
I have a backpack, but space and weight are limited.
I tried taking the cowl off too, but that doesn't seem to yield better results with my luggage either.
I thought about the Ducati luggage rack, but I'm not sure it would create a good mounting spot for the luggage. Seems like it would be too far back.
Suggestions?
