Anyone ever broken one,with the amount of kit that we had on the other week it was certainley doing it's fair share of wobbling,amazed fatigue didn't get to it.

Be extra carefull with throttle when travelling with pillion and tailbag loaded. I wasnt and we had an off exiting a roundabout enthusiastically, Bertie big bollocks moment i know but the wheelie was unintentional I tried to blame the 2 litre value bottles of body conditioner, shampoo, moisturiser and looby loo that pillion had packed for our holiday, anyway ventura stood up well to off although probably not waterproof, scuffed paintwork and ground down the locknuts a little but it is still good Kit. Dont mention me bike or 2 Knackered streetguard suits. Chris

Yes :oops:

It has done a LOT of miles, but the left hand upper bracket of the bars broke clean through eventually - went in the middle of the 1" plate that runs from the top bolt to the bar.
