    Ventura fitting instructions

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

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

    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.
