On the weekend I finally got around to installing my Ventura Evo rack and the 40 litre bag I bought.
Installation was extremely easy, took me all of 10 mins and 1 allen key.
there are 2 ways to install - bag facing forward or bag facing back.
They recommend bag facing forward for if you don't have a pillion, so that's what I did.
It looks pretty neat with no bag on, and there's a grab rail you can get too so that you can take the rack bit completely off which I'll probably also get.
The 40 litre bag is HUGE and will be great for long trips (say 3-4 nights away or more).
I'll probably also get one of the smaller bags to use instead of my backpack when I'm riding to work and need a change of clothes.
I went for a ride of a few hundred kms on Sunday, and the bag sits further forward than the rack so was digging in to my spine. I also couldn't sit back when on the highway.
So last night I adjusted the little brackets by flipping them 180 but still had the bag facing forward, it now sits a fair way back and it made a big difference.
This is how it looks now:
Overall I'm really happy with it, delivery was very quick too.
Highly recommend, if you're in Aus you order from here, I'm sure they have distributers elsewhere too or you can get it shipped.
