Oops! Sorry J2...

Seems Ive touched a nerve here. Im sorry if my comment wasnt useful or constructive - I was merely expressing a view (nice or otherwise) as do so many other members on here. Maybe I should have asked "who thinks Ventura packracks are friggin ugly when not supporting a backpack?" As a relative newcomer to this site, I wasnt aware that this topic had been touched on before. As for pissing people off, I hardly think that if and when I'm in need of roadside assistance KB members are going to recall this thread and pass by on the other side. But dont get out of your pram about it mate. Life's too short. Promise I'll think twice before I bang my drum again though. Each to their own as they say...

Hi Ninja, correct me if I'm wrong but if that is your bike on your profile pic, hasn't it got a small pack rack fitted??? Granted it doesn't look like a Ventura one but still............

Shit! Who put that on there?? :-)
Yes you're right, not exactly pretty either, but since J2 seems to think Im a bit of a wanker, it comes in handy... :-)

Sorry to all I offended with this topic/thread. Shall we talk about the weather?

Harleys don't have/need toolkits......

This should have been a poll.

You're missing the obvious advantages for the R1, Aaron.

Loose the big rack, fit a nice low "sport rack" and it then doubles as a 12 O'clock bar and a handy place to stick one foot when doing circle wheelies!

(90% someplace but I don't like it there)

So how did you fit wheels to your pack frame/ trundler , you find them OK then? Thanks for the tip
