Fitting a Gearsack rack or Ventura to OEM

Just had a couple of members PM me, about how I fitted my gearsack rack to my Sprint,
basically got an old rack I had from last ZZR1100 Kawasaki, brazed a couple straps to
the bottom of the rack, and bolted it to the Triumph OEM rack.

I personnally have used the Ventura rack system for years and ordered one for my Sprint in 07. I love it and it is very flexible. Made specificly for the bike so installation is a breeze, well putting the seat screws back in is never a breeze, buy you get what I mean.

Neat Solution

Good use of an old gearsack rack, looks very secure too but the base plate would be as expensive as a Ventura rack wouldn't it?

Just fitted a ventura rack today (sports model only) and will modify it a little to suit a large Dririder bag. As for thre seat screws, I had no trouble with them at all and can't understand why everyone complains about them.
