The black C-Bow side carriers for the 2018 Ducati Panigale V4/S/R are solid luggage carriers specifically designed to attach Hepco&Becker C-Bow side bags and cases to your motorcycle. These carriers feature a high-quality black surface finish. Please note that standard Hepco&Becker hard cases like the Junior or Journey are not compatible with these carriers. Likewise, Krauser K-Wing cases are not intended for use with the C-Bow carrier. The recommended load capacity is 5 kg per bag or case. It's important to follow the installation manual, model-specific guidelines, and the manufacturer's recommendations to consider any possible restrictions. In most cases, these carriers can be easily combined with top case carriers, sissy bars, or solo racks. However, please follow the installation manual or model-specific guidelines for each carrier. Luggage rack extensions may affect the attachment of the bags to the carrier. It's important to know that these carriers do not require a General Operating Permit (Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis or ABE) or registration in the vehicle papers. The carriers are specifically designed for the stock condition of your machine. However, please note that they have not been tested with accessories such as exhausts, license plate holders, or other turn signals. Ensure that the bags have sufficient clearance from the exhaust, and that the turn signals have an adequate light emission angle. The exhaust stream should not be directed toward the bags.
