ventura sport rack - fredkb_imp - 06-09-2014

I just installed the ventura sport rack / grab bar. [Image: a3de41302e04c7cab04befeff26ed494.jpg][Image: ee97afa924b98e60c53ce0c952bace82.jpg]
Remove grab handle and insert sport rack.[Image: 8b6062a927d48a5e5c012facf7e38854.jpg][Image: 29efacf6a46368c27aebecfcb761d6bb.jpg]
Next, add sport bag.[Image: 2cbfccbd51d76fa5ea7e15d32d3d4820.jpg][Image: 32693d3847107afbe40ebae364423fac.jpg]
I wanted the rack so I could have some storage area when carrying a passenger. I have a seat bag that works great when I ride alone, although you have to kick your leg up high when mounting / dismounting bike. With the sport rack, I do not have to raise my leg so high, as my leg clears the rack by 3 or 4 inches.I can remove rack and install grab handle when I want the bike to look sporty without the luggage rack taking away from the looks. Here is a picture with sport bag, seat bag and magnetic tank bag.[Image: 1d949ee96ccfb91d12a5ee1209d7f0f9.jpg]
Later I may order the pack rack and a larger bag.These next 2 pictures are not of my bike.[Image: 3ce63aab244190bbeef7b45cec1c690f.jpg][Image: 048eaa41fb488a43bc06697612d53690.jpg]

Very nice Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
I have the Ventura system on my CB900F which includes the grab rail, sport rail and pack. I also have the complete system for touring and have been using it for nearly 20 years on two different Honda bikes. The first was a NT650 Honda Hawk. Except for the permanent rails on the bikes, everything else fitted the 900F.
I like the system because you can quickly switch back and forth from grab rail to sport rail and pack as needed - as you have shown in the pics.
Made in New Zealand, it's an ingenious system.

That's a nice looking rack you have there.
Don't underestimate what you can fit on a "sports" rack. This is my old Ninja 250 with a Renntec sports rack. I know the ocky straps don't look too hot but they held on fine for a ~1900km trip.

that rack would be great for mounting flags to for a parade!!! sorry was just in a parade this past weekend and we had some interesting ways of attaching or mounting flags...


RE: ventura sport rack - OldF7Guy_imp - 06-10-2014

That is a very practical looking rack. Thanks for sharing.

I found a way to install my Firstgear Laguna tail bag on the rack. It is a little nicer quality than the little bag that came from ventura. It has more capacity and is expandable also, where as the ventura bag is kind of smaller and the material it is made from is not as sturdy.[Image: dc951adbd3bfc825fdfde5e0a068c718.jpg][Image: 4712c19cd412c5728519d7f20bf9a0ac.jpg]

The sport pack is adequate for a day ride and that's about all I use it for.
