Ventura fitting instructions

[nathanwhite]

After a while of scouring trademe, I found a complete ventura setup for my scorpio that was decently priced.
Problem is, now that it's arrived, I have no idea how to fit the stupid thing.

So, does anyone have have the fitting insturctions or know where to get them?

Found those, but my brackets are different on each side,
so while the right will be relatively easy the right looks a lot more difficult :(

where do the holes line up???

both should attach to pillon peg mount normally on the inside other holes which will be close too the bend will proberly line up with the rear indicator mount.. if you are close too a bike shop take the L-brackets down and get them too point the mounting points out on your bike....

Did you get the bolts,washers etc with everything?

because you are adding something to your bike sometimes the orignal bike bolts aren't long enough

The right bracket lines up with the footpeg nicely, but the left one is about half as long. I'll post pictures when I get home
And no, I didn't get any of the bolts etc. They may be hiding in the packaging, but if so, very well. Have to have another look and probably email the seller

[dogsnbikes]

mounting point on the left possibly the seat mounting bolt of the rear cowling mounting bolt

[HenryDorsetCase]

have they sent you the left side one for bike A, and the right side one for bike B? cos that would be funny, and might explain why it was cheap!

[nathanwhite]

ok, so here are the brackets249846

the right one it fairly straightforward, attaches to the pillion pegs249848
and to the bolt attaching the mudguard/tyre cover thingy 249849

now how does the left one work?

it looks like it should go on the hand rail, but it doesn't fit around it.

Open the clamp up so it does fit and get some rubber or a piece of garden hose and make up shim too fit inside the clamp and then bolt up as the gap will close when tighten

[nzspokes]

Mine replaces the hand rails.

And mop your floor.

What he said, just don't bother with the namby pamby bit of hose. Just open it up a little more or use a bigger hammer.

i know when i installed one of these i needed about 63 washers......

Yea, about half an hour after I posted those, I got that. :facepalm: piece of rubber is a good idea though




And mop your floor.

NO! ... thats the bit of floor the bike normally sits on, which is why it's dirty

Unfortunately I have have to think of the resale value :baby:

lol. No idea on how many washers i'll need, I think I already said that I didn't get any bolts or brackets for it, but it's looking like I wont need any, the existing bolts will do the job.

Sounds like you have too many rights

Blue Rider has a Vetura pack rack fitted to her bike..
I am meeting up with her tomorrow at Northcote...you wanna come have a look?

[blue rider]

while i don't have enough english vocabulary to even follwow this thread.....- i need a garden hose to fix a pack rack:confused:
and why the right is different from the right:blink:

we can meet as maha suggested and you can check out how the "rack" is fixed on my bike

and now I am really confused.:facepalm:

[Usarka]

and why the right is different from the right:blink:


No idea on the garden hose either! :wacko: But it might be as a spacer (which is what some of my 67 washers were for).

The diff between the left and right is that they usually bolt onto muffler mounts, and most bikes aren't symeetrical (sp?) ie. only one can.
