can you
I got my MonsterR as a one bike does all, Sunday blast, some track and touring bike.

Not done the miles on mine yet but I've 3 tours planned this year on the 1200R (IOM, Scotland, Spain) and have spent lots of time on luggage options.
My Kriega 30L doesn't fit well on my tail, (perhaps situated sideways) but it's massive and becomes ackward to swing the leg over. The 20L (as shown in the attached pic) fits much better (inline or sideways). I've not tried but think you could Combo on two 10s to the 20L as Kriega do in their streefighter promo pics.

Other brands of Tail bags and bungee cords etc all options... but at the end of the day the R variant has the different rear subframe and there really is not much space available. You have to be careful of overhanging the brake light and smaller indicators (if you have tail tidy in place) and available driver seat space.

I've a Kriega backpack but for the longer trips probably have to take tankbag as well or go the pannier route.

The nice looking (but very expensive (givi made)) ducati panniers only fit the base and S models, not the R. For the R you have Hepco and Becker and SW Motech aftermarket stuff. Maybe some more will become available this year?
For me the Hepco and Becker panniers look a cleaner and preferred fitment option. Think both brands mentioned are about 25L per side. I've still yet to confirm weather the two panniers mentioned will work with the evotech tail tidy and termignoni exhausts...

For shorter tours a 20L on the tail and backpack or tankbag is a good setup. I include a pic of how I looped the Kriega luggage straps around the rear subframe, was quite chuffed with the way it worked out to stop forward-aft and side slippage, they tuck under the seat so not noticeable when unused.

Hi. Could you elaborate on how you’ve looped the Kriega straps?

cheers
