I have Ventura kit for my Triumph bikes, but the L-bars are not available for the 3AJ. I have thought about perhaps frabricating the L-bars out of another bike's cheap Ebay offering, but not followed up on this yet.

Given where you are, I would have thought Gearsack was worth investigating?

A slightly different tact, Bagster still have the tank cover available for the 3AJ, and offer a number of tank bags to fit. A bit pricey, but an additional option.

Ciao, Geoff
