Throw over saddlebags / panniers

Bob795 · Jun 15, 2013

Anybody use throw over saddlebags like Wolfman saddlebags or Enduristan saddlebags on their Hyperstrada?

I don't have Hyperstrada yet, dealer won't have them until July, but from the pictures that I've seen I don't like the looks of the stock saddlebags and they look really wide.
thanks,
bob

I have the Altrider tail rack and carry a bag on it.

Well I dropped the bike off at Ducati Bellevue for the software updates while on my way to a lunch/awards meeting today. Anyway spent some time talking with the gang there. I was checking out their hardcase panniers setup on the Hyperstrada. Their project is coming along nicely. The setup looks almost factory. They are working with a local machine shop to create an adaptor plate that the cases will attach to and then clip right onto the existing mounts. The cases tuck in nice and tight and look to sit a little lower that the early design in the photos on their web site. I didn't have a camera with me at the time or I would have gotten some pictures.

I love the GS look of those, and they have a lot of volume but, they won't hold a helmet. I guess if you have a large top case it wouldn't matter.

I would buy the adaptor kit to fit the multi sides to go with the multi top.

I'd have bought the hypermotard if i was planning on taking off the standard equipment and fitting adaptor kits and other panniers, why bother going to all the extra expense??

The stock panniers are nice but after 1 season they are pretty beat.
The stitching looks terrible and they are harder to keep clean.
If after the second season i have a nice bike and my panniers look like arse why wouldnt i choose something thats stylish and hard if i have to spend $800 on a new set. I would roll that money over to something nicer and longer lasting in a heartbeat.
