Ventura Luggage/Zard Penta Slip on

[rummaggio]

Does anyone know if the Ventura Luggage system will attach without modification when a Zard Penta is installed? While not the prettiest, I do have one from my SuperSport which only needs the fitament for the Hyper.

Thanks

I reached out to the US Distributor for a kit and will check and report back on the fit.

I have a Zard Penta slip on. Judging by the pic, I doubt it. Even if you don;t install the cosmetic fins of the Penta, the piece that follows the contour of the stock exhaust would surely not follow the Penta. I could be wrong

HR, you are right on. I got a picture and install guide from Ventura. The plate above the stock exhaust is very different from the Zard. It could be made to fit but I don't currently have that skill or tools.

I just rode with a large backpack coming across the Golden Gate Bridge and up 101, which was no joy at all. Winds don't normally bother me bt the ergos on the Hyper seem to accentuate the crosswind experience. Though when on my SS, the Ventura with luggage and winds cause no problem at all.

need to find another palatable solution.

May not be the best alternative (depending on your intended load) but have a look at my gallery for some images of using the DP rear plate luggage rack, reinforcing it, and install the GIVI luggage. Perhaps that would give you an idea to work around Ventura
