My CBX has a Gearsack, the KLR had a Gearsack (bike and all bits now sold :( ), a rack and bag are too useful for me not to have.
Happy to pick up around Melbourne metro.

Thankyou mick12 for your assistance.
I did recently acquire a Gearsack rack and bag from eBay that was used on a 1100 Z, and in a better state than the one you linked to. However, I will keep a lookout for racks specifically bracketed for GPX750, as few and far between as they may be.

I have seen a pic of a nice GPX750 owned by a poster in these forums called laidback. That bike has or had a Gearsack rack modified to fit that bike quite nicely. I can't weld but I know someone who can. It is something I'll look into.

I recall something on the Ventura site about those being special order now. Given the bike is 29 years old now, there may or may not be old stock sitting around, somewhere.
I may end up with a bastardised combination of the more elegant Ventura L-brackets topped with a cut back Gearsack rack as I prefer a Gearsack bag, given a choice.
