HELP !
Does anyone have a good suggestion as to what kind of saddle-bags one should get for a Monster 600 Dark -00
... that look GOOD, can carry some stuff <and> makes having a passenger still possible
(or isn't saddle-baggs the way to go <:-O)
I have now ordered ... waited ... tried ... returned ... ordered ... waited ... tried ... returned 2 kinds of "Ducati bags" :-((
The first set were REALLY good looking (Italian d e s i g n kinda like portable-PC cases) and came with "fittings" that were nice and pretty "invisible"
BUT they were very "thin" AND worst of all, the fitting resulted in the rear foot-pins becoming unusable = no passenger
(in addition I received 2 right-bags and no left :-())
The second set were labeld "Ducati performance" and more "traditional" ... and small (although "expandable" = thicker) and allowd the passenger to have legs and feet
)
BUT they came with an UGLY metal frame ... really terrible I tell you ... that I in fact didn't even install (it didn't fit very well "physically" either)
These bags seemed to be ok to carry withouth this uggly "frame", but the odd thing was that there was <nothing> to keep the bags in place ... no "locks" or straps or anything ... except the ones over the saddle
(I guess that strapping them under the saddle would hold it in place, but that way they didnt fit half as well, and put "strain" either on the tail-indicators or on the small plastic "covers" at the top-middle of the frame)
Any GOOD suggestions and/or experiences ?
