Source for Gearsack Rack?

[Anonymous]

My new 1100 is too nice for soft luggage so I'm looking for one of these racks. Does anybody know a North American source? A Canadian dealer would be preferred.

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

You may want to check out http://www.ventura-bike.com/english/...s/products.htm. They certainly have a pack rack that fits (I have one). Not sure if they have a distributor in your nick of the woods though. They have a distributor search page however.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the link,
I was able to get an American link from their dealer network. Here's a picture of their rig on a hot looking GS1200SS :P

Anyway, I couldn't find any info on one for our bikes. Maybe they don't have many in stock so they don't advertise them. I dunno but I hope they still have a few. At this point I am prepared to return the joe rocket saddle bags I bought filled with dog turds as punishment for all of the damage they did to my 400. They are garbage...I never could get them to hold onto the bike properly and all of the zipper pull tabs popped off of the zippers.

i have one similar to tht rack on my 1100d but the sissy bar part looks like it was made from flat stock and has a messy back rest pad. .It is so ugly that i only put the thing on when i intend to go on a long trip. Im gratefull to have it though.

Here is the link to givi. They have a universal rack and a sharp line of hard bags. I think they may fill the bill. http://www.givi.it/

I found a ventura rack for a VFR on ebay at 30$ right now... I'll big on it later but I'll still have to buy the correct brackets for my bike at some point if they exist. I am surprsied they want so much for these bags. It would cost me 400$US for what I want which is half the price of my bike.
