Hello People of the VFR world,

I am new to this website and joined after purchasing a 1999 VFR. I have currently a Tank bag and Givi T449 saddle bags on it. I am looking to add some sort of sports rack at the back to attach a hiking bag when I travel with a passenger. Any neat suggestions ?

I am used to tying my Hiking bag on the back seat as shown in the picture below.

Just FYI - I am in France/Switzerland area (here to work for a few years), so shipping from US sites is not my first option (which I am used being a Canadian)

Cheers.

I recommend the Ventura Rack system for this.

You want the L-Bracket (part H097/B) to start with and probably the and Pack Rack (part PF14/B). Every time you go for a ride you can easily remove the Pack rack and replace it with just a grab handle (part GH14/16/B) or a sports rack (part SR14/B). It is a very flexible solution.

This looks really good. But its just a bit above my budget for something like this. Just the L-Bracket and a pack rack would cost me about $250. I am trying to settle things in half that cost.

Any Ideas?

Nah, sorry. I'm only familiar with Ventura. You're right though; they're expensive!!

I found this to be the cheapest solution so far.

Anyone ever used this before? Some feedback would be awesome.

Also, I am still open to other suggestions !!
