I was getting tired of stuffing things into my jacket or trying to get bungees stored under my seat etc. I wanted to try a Ulysses handle bar bag, but with my heated grip controls, and GPS I figured it would be cumbersome. That and seeing the speedo, and that they're 50+ on eBay or can get a tourtech one for about the same... Anyway. I found this:




it's a Moose Racing number plate bag ($35 bucks). It's got a neoprene sleeve on the back of it that slides over the "number plate" and two straps that connect to the forks and handlebars (or where ever you hook it to). I had it out on the expressway, and in the rain, and no issues. Appears to hold quite a bit too!

Figured I'd share.

How much weight can that Ventura rack hold? Can the rack be rotated so that the bag holder sits over the passenger seat (as opposed to sitting over the rear tire)?

The Manual for the rack said 12kg or 26.4lbs in US measure.

P.S I love that rack!

And yes, you can rotate the rack around 180 degrees so it faces the riders back if desired.
