Hi looks good love what you done with the ventura rack. Was wondering what you done with the rest of the rack you cut shelf off as I have got a Universal top box I want to make a bracket up to slide into the ventura l mounts?

Hey Gus,

Hi Gus No it doesn't just was trying to cheat and use bottom of rack if he had it so don't have to find right size pipe or bar to fit and widths so don't have to tack up on bike. Sorry for hijack

Hotel Ewok highly recommended, take it from experience.

Also welcome to kip at our place as well Gus, the bears go into hibernation soon...

Yes please give us a rough itinerary, we'd love to meet up with you if possible and buy you that beer I owe you.

I have some time off coming up and so may be able to plan an intercept, plus I was thinking about another Southern adventure, without the rain this time.
