RECOMMENDATION: When carrying a single pack always
face it forwards with the weight over the pillion seat. When
two packs are used, the largest capacity pack must be
carried facing forwards with the weight over the pillion seat.
WARNING: When using a pack facing rearwards it must be
supported by the carrier portion of the pack rack. The carrier
of the pack rack must be fitted facing the rear. Failure to
comply can result in irreparable damage to the pack or its
contents.
HELPFUL HINT: To ease fitment into the L-Brackets we
recommend a light coating of beeswax, candle wax or light
grease be applied to the bottom of the Pack-Rack legs.
WARNING: Read your owners manual, do not exceed the
manufacturers maximum recommended weight for rider,
pillion and luggage combined.

BEFORE USE
All fasteners and components must be checked for tightness and
security before each ride.
RECOMMENDATION
Any surfaces that could possibly come in contact with the pack(s)
should be covered with protective material such as abrasion
resistant film, to prevent marking or damage to the surface finish.
RIDING SOLO
When riding solo always have the pack facing forward with the load
over the pillion seat.
RIDING WITH A PILLION PASSENGER
When riding with a pillion passenger the pack must be fitted facing
rearwards.
WARNING - The VENTURA Bike-Pack System was not
designed as a back rest and should not be used as one by the
pillion passenger.
SECURING PACK TO PACK-RACK
To secure the pack use the straps with the quick release clips and
attach around the horizontal rung on the Pack-Rack carrier. On
some models the quick release system is not available. In this
situation loop the shoulder straps around the rung and fasten to the
buckle. If any of the securing straps hang down below the rack,
and could possibly get damaged from an under seat exhaust, loop
the straps up behind the quick release clips or buckles.
PACKING THE PACK
Always place heavy items at the bottom of the pack and load
evenly. Do not position sharp objects against the fabric of the pack.
MAXIMUM CARRYING CAPACITY
Unless specified to the contrary in the fitting instructions or the
motorcycle manufacturers recommendations/specifications the
recommended maximum load capacity of this system is 9kg
(20lbs). It is important that the pack is always securely fastened to
the Pack-Rack.
MAXIMUM SPEED
The maximum recommended speed that this system can be used
is 130 kph (80mph) or the legal speed limit, whichever is the lower.
This limit may be reduced by other accessories, worn tyres,
improper handling, overall motorcycle condition or weather
conditions.
REMEMBER
Exceeding the weight capacity or the recommended maximum
speed may drastically affect the motorcycles handling, stability and
performance.
L-BRACKETS
The L-Brackets must always have the Pack-Rack, Sport-Rack or
Grab-Handle fitted.
ADDITIONAL REAR VISIBILITY
Carrying luggage may sometimes partially obscure your tail light
causing your safety to be compromised...

be fitted to any surface on the back of your motorcycle using the
adhesive backing or the mounting bolts supplied.
