If I remember correctly Alberta Todd had Ventura packs when he had a vision quest & converted from Triumph sportbike to SM
.
It looked great to me. Easy to load securely on the bike, lots of capacity, low centre of gravity. Although you don't have to stuff the bags to the breaking point. They detach as fast as attach, so if you're on the road, it's quick and easy to haul your gear into a motel room.
