We have a couple of European trips in the calendar this year and with the new Monster arriving in just over a month, it is time to look at panniers. I have never been a fan of throw over bags except for the SW Motech ‘Blaze’ system but it is not available for the 937. Nothing in the Ducati range and I have to say, I’m not impressed by their pillion seat bag, bloody cat’s cradle of fixing straps. Anyway, anyone else planning on touring their 937 and found panniers ? Andy
Do these people make anything that would fit and be suitable? https://ventura-bike.co.uk/collections/ducati . Good luck. Tom.
I have blaze panniers an Kreiga bags for the rear of the 1098 I wanted to fit the blaze panniers to my F4 but they don't make a fixing kit. I ordered the "blocks" from SW £30 now in the process of making the brackets to fit where passenger foot pegs are. Using the same arms from the 1098
I've never owned a Monster, but recently I was considering a Supersport for touring that was not included on the Ventura website at the time, so I emailed them asking if they had anything that would be suitable. They replied with a list of their fittings and luggage that would fit the Ducati, which was helpful. However, I decided on a BMW instead! Good luck. Tom.
I think you will struggle with panniers on the new Monster because of the high exhaust outlet. Kriega now do a 40l rackpack which might work. https://kriega.com/sports/touring/us-40-rackpack
Hi Andy, I have some Shad panniers which should fit the new monster. I used them for my Scottish trip in 2020 but have since bought the “proper” Ducati (read expensive) ones. The Shad panniers fit using a small frame using 2 bolts under the tail piece. If your interested I can post some photos? They aren’t water proof, I have sprayed some Autoglym water proofing on them but I’d use after proof inners. I use some back pack liners in my Ducati panniers. Edit. Just looked at some photos of the new Monster, those pipes are quite high!
@Vader, the bike will have the Termignoni full system fitted so no idea what that actually looks like in comparison the std exhaust. If you still have the frame and bags come delivery time, currently May ‘22, we may well be having a chat Andy
Have a look on hepco and Becker I just put a set on my Diavel 1260. Fit well, robust. I chose these as the shad panniers required drilling. I picked the Roysters up with a monster fitting kit but buying second hand worked out cheaper, all I needed new was the mounting kit and I got that from eBay with 20% sale offer
The Monster/Monster+, 937cc does not appear in their list of bikes. Thank you for the link though. Andy
@Android853sp I had the Blaze on my Monster. Nice product. I only sold them because I bought a Multistrada with the OEM Panniers.
Another alternative is to go for something like this, made for off road bikes with higher exhausts. Enduristan kit is top quality. I can't advise as to whether these might fit your Monster but looking at them it should work. https://enduristan.co.uk/collection...s/blizzard-saddle-bags?variant=15406128005183
Been into Ducati Glasgow today as I’m working close by, they had a used Monster in there with SW Motech panniers, they are tiny! Just enough room in one of them for Andy’s wallet!
Hepco Becker do C-Bow frames and 16 litre Street side bags that look pretty good. I've gone for the Sport Rack that replaces the pillion seat as I prefer to strap a Roll bag on.
