Best Luggage System

Hey guys in a couple weeks I plan on taking my Thruxton on a long road trip and want to get a good luggage system.

I was looking at the Ventura Rack System but was wondering if anyone had experience with it?

Also wanted to know if it was worth the price premium over the Triumph luggage?

Me? I'm going for a renntec rack with a givi plate and top case with throw overs for my trip to the TT in June. I like lockable luggage. Fit load park and forget. Not the prettiest but when I get to whereever I'm going I'll leave it.
MC Resources recently came out with their new luggage brackets and Quick Mounts. It's something to consider.

I bought the Cortech Sport saddlebags and tail pack... spent about $212 for the whole set, hooks onto the bike in about 10-15 minutes with the cowl on, or under the seat.

Holds enough stuff that the girl and I only needed to use my bags for a 2 day trip.. I don't have any pictures of it on the bike, but there are a few folks in here that have pictures of it if you do a search.
+1 on the Cortech. I borrowed a set once, may get my own. Good value.

I have the Oxford Sports tailbag and saddlebags now. Great set, getting a little wear after 6 years.
+1 for Cortech. I have used them for long distance trips through various weather conditions. They are durable and easy to use, and look good. I have the sport saddlebags but the larger top/duffle bag. The clips are the same.
Ventura rack and luggage

I've used these for 4 years and 12000 km (7200miles).
No problems so far
Ventura is stone axe simple setup, good solid Kiwi gear, have one on my Bonnie, took about 30 mins to fit; and one on my Suzuki 1200 Bandit, took about 15 mins to install. The Aero packs are great too:D

Will the Triumph saddle bags fit with the rear fender removed?

Ever thought of a trailer instead of luggage ON the bike?

Wow 2k is a little pricey. Cool idea tho.
