Hey everyone! I'm Rogue…just found your site 20 minutes ago. I'm living in the high desert in Southern California..was on a recent trip to San Francisco Bay area…saw my first Scrambler….never knew they existed…bought a Scrambler Enduro on December 10th. I took it off road today! WOW!…what fun! Anyway, I hit the road a lot, and would rather find some kind of luggage with solid sides, like a Jesse bag, or something I can lock. I'm also interested in a tail rack…anyone know of anyone making anything? I saw a picture of the small bars that bolt onto the grab rail, but can't find info on them. I also saw a picture of some frame that was added to that rail system that held soft luggage…looked as if they locked onto the frame for security...though they did stick out quit a ways. I try to keep everything at my bar end limit or less. I would greatly appreciate any info… I ride all year 'round, in all weather…anyone out this way, let me know and we'll find a trail…
Much Thanks,
rogue

I can't help you but hello and welcome Rogue!

 

[Dave S]

Welcome.
Try SW Motech for the panniers.
Hepco and Becker,and DM Telai for the racks.

I have no experience with racks but check out this thread for options.
luggage rack? - Ducati Scrambler Forum

Welcome on board rogue, good to have you with us enjoy the new bike

 

[greer]

Let us know what you decide rogue, lots of us wishing for luggage and wondering what route to go. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome, folks…it's been an interesting couple weeks. I've been looking for info on the forum about bags, rear racks, etc. I found a host of blogs…good stuff. I did find something from Givi that I'm going to fit. I'll be moving my license and turn signals to make them work…will be sure and post pics as I go. I read a blog that said these bikes won't make good adventure bikes, but I think it'll be well suited for my tastes. I'm not really interested in climbing over logs, but I think it will be a fine fire road and single track bike. I'm out in the high desert of So. California, and I've already had it out there…and having a blast with it. I took my GoPro out of my Alfa Romeo and I'm using it on my Scrambler for now. Anybody in the So. Cal area up for a ride, let me know. I'm scheduled for a first service at Ducati Beverly Hills around noon on January 5th…if anyones' going to be around…
One more thing…I wanna start a club in the area. It's called S.outhern C.alifornia R.oad A.nd M.ountain…SCRAM. (copyright 2015) If I can get enough interest, a publication, planned rides, tech tips, mods, etc….you heard it here first...let me know...

 

[ELVISTO]

That's a great idea rogue, be sure to let us know how it goes

 

[Vroom!]

Glad to see you on board! If you can live with a soft bag, I got a Nelson-Rigg which fits the bike well.

Welcome aboard, good luck with the search for luggage, i am using Kreiga soft luggage not lockable so no help there.
Great fun bike enjoy, yep would have been up for a ride out but took far!!

 

[nuttynick]

Just to let you know, the stock EU bags are made by Givi ;-)

 

[changohot]

I had the Ducati "bag" (have high pipe) on my bike and pick this one up from Leather Works, not bad.

Hi Rouge & welcome! I'm definitely interested in your new your club. I'm currently riding a Yamaha Bolt that I've customized for better handling on the canyon roads. My prior bike was a Ducati Hyperstrada and while the Yamaha is better for two-up riding, it's a little boring for riding solo. I have a limited edition Scrambler Italia on order and expect to take delivery in May! Will your new club be listed as a "Meet-up" group?

Rogue here…back with an update, for those who might not have seen my post on the other Scrambler forum./ I found a Givi rack system, part #7407 and Givi panniers, part #trk33. The racks require you to move the turn signals to the stock license plate mount, which I didn't like…so I made my own tail tidy, with mounting tabs which moved my turn signals rearward and inward, clearing the racks. Forgive me, but for a fuller story, please see my post on the Ducati Scrambler forum: My Tail Tidy and Panniers.. There are pics there as well...

Hey ArtsItalia, I'd love to make it a meet-up group…I haven't had much response, I think maybe everyone is waiting for fairer weather…still, I'm out there riding every chance I get. I had to leave the high desert mid week to head to L.A….it was 35*…but warmed up nicely later on...
