hey cooper,
as fred stated gearsack sells them,
a cpl of years ago it was priced at around $400 including the bag,
they do sell the bag and rack seperately but it was a lot more exspensive.
not sure where your located, but theres a mc store here in parramatta that sold them
you could suss them out and see if there still available.

motorcycle accessories supermarket
church st, parramatta,
02 9633 1296
I picked up another Gearsack bag $160:00 to replace my tattered, broken, faided, stuffed zipper still waterproof, reliable  and done nearly 150,000 Kms one last week for my Beemer, which is mounted on a Ventura rack, and the guy at the bike shop told me that Gearsack Racks not bags, were no longer available???

Go figure

Mate,

GEARSACK also make a rear luggage rack that bolts straight on at the same points.
The bag for it is those big square ones from quite a few years ago. Main storage compartment, two side pockets and one at the front. All waterproof, some sort of heavy duty nylon with corner stiffeners and zippers.

Seen a quite a few of the racks on ebay but not the bags.
Don't know where you hail from but if it's Melbourne you'll pick up a second hand one at places like Ray Quincy's or bike bitz in Elizabeth st.

I've got one for mine when touring but no photos, sorry.

hey Cooper
My machine is an '80G - I bought "off the rack' at my local bike shop - think it's a ventura -
the brackets fix to the shock mounts and the 2 tubes at the rear of the frame  - the rack slips into these brackets - simple and effective - can't remember the pricing tho
the brackets can be seen in this pic (at Philip Is.)

and here....

and the rack with bag (turned around) here
