I was wondering previously whether it was still possible to fit the Ventura luggage system with a Evotech tail tidy.

Turns out it is indeed possible, and in fact really easy to do.

The Ventura stuff is excellent quality, I have fitted their systems on the last several bikes I have owned and toured all over Europe using it.

It's possible to use it with a pillion:





Or alternatively you can fit it over the rear seat to centralise the weight (and give yourself a rear rack for even more luggage)

There's a grabrail for pillions:





And although the whole system cones off in not a lot of time, it doesn't look too awful with just the L-Brackets fitted:

The Pack Frame is pretty substantial to support the 53L bag:





and like I said, it doesn't look too bad just to leave the L-Brackets in place:

Jules,
Thanks for sharing this. I have been looking for something like this for one of my other bikes. Looks like you get a decent product for your money.
