Most likely, yes.

The majority of parts will be required to use an L-Bracket, you will be prompted to purchase one of these whenever you buy a part which requires them. In some instances for Pannier supports, an L-Bracket is not required however you will be prompted of this when you select the support you wish to purchase.

The time varies for each bike as each L-Bracket is custom designed to fit each model. Standard installation takes anywhere from 15 – 90 minutes. This includes reading the instructions, removing any bodywork (you will be presented with a warning when adding your part to the basket if this is required), and doing any moderate adjustments. If you are having a problem with the installation, please contact us.

The Ventura Bike-Pack System has been tested by independent journalists (on a race track) at speeds up to 180MPH (288KPH) with no effect on the handling. The journalist comment was, "I didn't even know it was there".

L-Brackets and racks are made from a Mild Steel Tubing. All L-Brackets come in a Satin Black Powder Coat Finish.

Yes. Our fitment list features many bikes dating back to the late 70s. We don’t carry these in stock but are happy to produce them. Contact us for Special Order terms and conditions. Please note that some models may have tolerances or variations between world markets, thus we cannot always guarantee a perfect fit. We will advise of any known model differences upon inquiry.

As Ventura items are fitted to bikes in New Zealand it is common that many of our fitments will have the European Model names. If you are unsure of the EU name, please give us a call and we’ll check for you.

The system does not fit every model of motorcycle. In some cases, such as with the KTM 690 SMC, it is impossible to fit a system. If the model was a USA specific model then it is unlikely that we will have a fitment. Further, some fitments are LightGuard only Fitments. These include the Aprilia Futura, BMW K1200LT, BMW R1200 RT/ST, Honda Pacific Coast, Honda GL1800 Goldwing and many others.

If you are unable to find your bike please contact us and our team will be happy to help.

NO.

Ventura Racks are intended for luggage only and not made to be used as a backrest or sissy bar. While some passengers enjoy the sense of security they offer, they are designed for luggage purposes only!

We recommended maximum weight capacity of 20 lbs for most Ventura Racks. Some racks may have a lower weight rating. Please contact us with your model and we’ll check for you!

It may be physically possible for the rack to be turned around but we STRONGLY ADVISE against doing this. Reasons for this include stability, bodywork clearance and model accessories.

Yes, you can find replacement parts and accessories here.

Each collection of bag uses a different rack to support it:

EVO - EVO Rack

AERO - Pack Rack

You can also use the Sport Rack for third party luggage systems or the Grab Handle as a replacement for when you do not need a luggage rack mounted to your L-Bracket.

Yes.

The Aero range of packs are able to ‘zip up’ to one another. You can have a Spada/Spada Combo, a Spada/Delta, or a Delta/Delta combo. Please note that the Aero IV, V, VI, and VII will all zip together in any combination of Spada or Delta.

Ventura Packs are made with Kodra Fabric, a heavy duty ballistic nylon material.

They are lined with a laminated waterproof PVC backed material. With light to moderate precipitation, you should feel secure in the water resistance of the packs. However, with age and use, the water resistance may weaken. Where the material is pierced, for example along the seams, water can get in. For this reason we carry six sizes of Storm Cover for additional protection! You could also check out other fabric protectors, but check the warning labels for compatibility with fabrics.
