Re: ventura bags
I've got three of the buggers and they're all very good, two were from first two bikes which I used to head up to Qld last year and the zipper on one broke some teeth so came apart (probably a little to much in the bag I think), I rang Kenma up asking if they know of anyone that could fix them and they gave me some suggestions and also sent out replacement zippers FREE of Charge, quite impressed.
Third bag came with the new bike.....

Re: ventura bags
Mate the aero ones and these can zip together if you need more space. The shape may be better than say the Bathurst or Euro but the tapered shape does make it harder to get things near the bottom out without mixing everything up.
If I was to buy another I would get the Euro.

Re: ventura bags
RJays Explorer fits the Ventura rack ...
http://www.mcas.com.au/motorcycle-lugga ... r-rack-bag
Got me around the UK for 12 weeks without any probs ..
btw ... I also have the Ventura Euro Rally ...
1. It is smaller than the RJay's.
2. The side pockets are poorly designed ( hard to get into & smaller than the RJay's).
3. Rain cover is extra $$$ ( RJay's is included .. tucks into a pocket under the bag ).

Re: ventura bags
Go the Euro.
I have the euro and the Aero Spada. I have only used the Aero Spada bag 2 or 3 times as the narrow top is not as user friendly for every day use.
Not saying the Aero is not a good bag, but the Euro is just easier day in day out.

Re: ventura bags
hey philbo, i use the biggest RJays bag on my ventura rack, not very aero-dynamic, but you can get a crazy load of stuff in it.
I got my bike second-hand with the rack already on it and after i did about 20,000km the rack broke.... i fixed it, stronger, weld/insert etc.
Im still happy with the setup.
Using a bag other than Ventura Bags voids your Ventura rack warranty.
cheers

Re: ventura bags


Their are quite a few of us that use an RJ's Explorer. I have to be careful not to over fill it because it is carries so much stuff, but it's a great bag.
