yea, I got the ventura rack sys last year and like it when packing a lot.
But for small trips I'd like to find a back that could just sit on the passenger seat. I was out fooling around with the sport rack and if I cut one of the
cross bars out I can put it own forward over the stock grab rail and then most any small pack can sit just above the pas. seat. That's my plan now.
Yep mine too, I am not a fan of big bags too far back on the bike.
Ventura do a seat pack that doesn't require the rack, thats in the link I sent you.
The prices for Andy Strapz bags are on his site, but you are probably checking post cost? The oil cloth bags are also available in cordura I think.
I have opted for waterproof bags and Andy's piggy back straps, used with some loopz.
I am planning on the big trip down to Phillip island for the Moto GP in October, and we are planning for the worst as far as weather, and hoping for the best. So we have to be prepared, as we will be camping trackside with no mod cons.
