Genuine Unsolicited Customer Feedback
Just a quick note to let you know how great your stuff is.
I now have the sport rack/bag and the large pack rack/ bag on my 2007 Ducati GT1000, and have been using them for overnight trips this summer. It is so cool how I can transform my “sport bike” into a weekend cruiser with the greatest of ease. Even with two adults on an overnight trip we have plenty of room.
Attached are a couple of photos showing my 9-year old daughter and I getting ready to depart for our trip back in August. Notice the super-cool Italian bike – and the excellent luggage system!
How lucky am I to have these components available for a relatively obscure motorcycle?
Thanks again for all your help in putting this together –

Hi,
Did a trip to Imola to see the World Superbike with my partner, yes two up and a 2100 mile round trip. One day did 550 miles on the way back.
The Ventura luggage is the only way we can travel together on any sportsbike, although I had to fabricate my own bracket support as my Akropopvic exhausts are a different shape to standard, and your original would not fit.
Still its a great system and even better one up as the luggage faces toward me and doesn,t ruin my bodywork like throwover panniers etc.
Thanks

What a great rack system; well made, and easy as to fit to my bike TL1000S.
I only recently got back onto bikes, and have been making do with a
Oxford Tank Bag; but a real hassle layering the tank with 'glad-wrap' to
protect paint and removing bag at fuel stops.
A few other riders from local Ulysses group told me of the Ventura
system; so I looked into it, and I bought the Pack-Rack, Aero-Spada Pack
and raincover - I'll be getting the Sport-Rack later for around town.
Anyhow, some photos attached of my first ride with the rack - day trip
to Ardath, Western Australia ... about 540 kms round trip

Hello Amy, how do you do? Well I want to thank you for everything you have done to assist me. Yesterday I claimed my Package at the Postal Office and so on i installed the rack on my Triumph Bonneville everything is fine, only a minor scratch on the sport rack but its Ok. The rack itself is great i installed it without problems and in general it looks great on my bike. Today Im going to try the pack rack with the Europack ;-)
I don't know if it is possible but if you want I can share my experience in your site.
Thank you very much

I love your system because it's the only system that allows you to carry a decent amount of luggage on bikes like mine

This is the 8th bike I have fitted ventura systems to. (still have 2 of the other bikes)

I HAVE HAD VARIOUS L'BRACKETS FOR DIFFERENT BIKES. I THINK THIS LUGGAGE SYSTEM IS FANTASIC
— Cliff T (Triumph Tiger 1050), England
Used Ventura systems in the past. Never had any problems with them. Easy to use and look pretty OK I reckon.
— Matt C (Honda CBR 900), Australia
I'm impressed with the system, I've just pent a week zooming around the Scottish highlands on bumpy and twisty roads. The pack was completely stable and secure at all speeds. Top gear really!

I have received and installed the Ventura Luggage System on my '08 Buell Blast. The installation was extremely easy and the included instructions were very clear. The system itself seems very stable, and virtually transparent as far as the bike handling.
Thank you for your product, and more importantly, thank you for your outstanding customer service.

I recently purchased a headlight protector for a 2001 Kawasaki
Concours from California Sport Touring. Part number is VP018, packed by
Jason, number 52106. I am male, 55-60, living in Florida, USA.
This is probably the 5th or 6th headlight protector I have purchased
over the years.... several Concours, a ZX600, a ZZR1200 and maybe even
a Goldwing. I'm not sure where I first saw the product but subsequent
purchases were a result of my own experiences using them in the past.
The thought of replacing a headlight because of flying debris versus
paying the price of a headlight protector has always seemed to be a
no-brainer to me. I would happily sacrifice the protector if it meant
I didn't have to source and install a new headlight at 10 times the
cost!
I have never experienced build quality problems and with a little care
the protector and even the Velcro tabs seem to last very well. In one
instance I had to replace the Velcro and was able to purchase a set
very cheaply at a local hardware store.
Thanks, for a bit of insurance and lots of peace of mind, I expect my
future bikes will also get the Light Guard installed.

Dear Bonnie (and the rest of the Ventura team),
I have never really taken the time to write a thank you email, but your Ventura system had sparked something in me.
I had a Ventura system 8 years ago in Australia, and it was brilliant. After one trip around Europe stuffing around with set of Oxford panniers (cumbersome, poor fit, and not water proof) I decided to spoil myself with another Ventura system. I ordered the system at 3:00pm on Monday and by 4:00pm on Tuesday, it had been delivered and easily installed on my 2005 Fireblade. Amazing!
The system is relatively simple yet extremely well engineered, with simple and clear instructions. The pack has kept the same simple principles as 8 years ago, with some handy additions (ie back pack straps). Excellent!
Well done. The Ventura system is on the pricey side, but worth every penny.
Cheers
Simon
PS – I am happy for you to use this for promo reasons if you wish.

The speed triple is very limited for touring due to the total lack of bungee points, high level exhausts and small rear seat. The Ventura system is the only way to reliably take a weeks worth of drinking clothes.
I'm impressed with the system, I've just spent a week zooming around the Scottish highlands on bumpy and twisty roads. The pack was completely stable and secure at all speeds. Top gear really!
— Brent L (Triumph Speed Triple 1050), Scotland
I'd like for you to add to the site my recommendation of the whole Ventura kit I purchased if you wish. the fit to my Ducati 1098s is fantastic and the ease of use with bags, racks and grab handle is brilliant. bags are really stable and secure even at Ducati speeds!! the bike handles no different and is now a joy to use and even tour on. good bye ruck-sack and bad back, Ventura will be the only thing I use in future what ever I'm riding. keep the range growing for biking sake! live life ride hard.

Hi there
Just wanted to let you know I bought your Ventura luggage system for my R1
and rode down to Portugal GP - 3,000 odd miles and Wow what a fantastic
system!
For years I have been buying luggage for my bikes and now have a loft full
of soft luggage which will all be going on ebay!
Thanks, you just made my life easier, and I think I converted all my mates
too.
Cheers

I recently purchased the Pack Rack system for my 2000 Ducati M900S to add
some space to my bike. What I was concerned with was styling. I love the
Monster's lines and I didn't want to destroy them by putting on luggage
that looked like it should be on a cruiser. Your system works and looks
great plus it fits the Monster like it was born there. It's functional,
practical and really works! The system is versatile, expandable and simple
to install. You guys have done yourselves proud on this product. Stand
up and take a bow. Thanks.
— Colin D. (Ducati M900S), USA
Excellent quality & price.
— Clyde S. (K100RT), USA
Pretty easy to install, good design.
— Jeff Y. (GTS 1000), USA
Excellent design and fit.
— Ted E. (VTR 1000), USA
Thanks to your product I now have two bikes in one. One sport bike and another sport touring. No more back packs or soft luggage to mark my paint! I would wish you success but with products of this calibre, you don't need it!!
— Ben Z. (VFR 750), USA
The quality, workmanship and concept are awesome.
— John B. (ZRX 1100), USA
I like the system alot so far. You need to spread the word in the USA though. (If I wasn't so fussy - and fortunate, I may have settled for far less than your system).
— Randy S. (M2 Cyclone), USA
Very nice product! Send me some business cards and I will hand them out when people ask about it. And they will ask!
— Todd S. (VTR 1000 Superhawk), USA
Great product! It rains & snows like hell here in Wisconsin. Stuff doesn't get wet along with volume that the packs can handle. Even my wife has a hard time filling it up.
— Joel B. (CBR 1000), USA
Thanks for including the 916 in your product line.
