jryan Posted August 4, 2008 #1 Posted August 4, 2008 Just thought I'd pass along a recommendation for an organizer that hangs from the inside of the trunk lid. I bought one before a recent trip and am totally satisfied with it. It's got a zipper pouch which is good for holding bungees, Progressive air pump, tire gauge, etc and a couple of mesh pouches to hold rags, phone chargers, and even those extra cassette tapes that Yamaha thinks we all still carry around! It's also got a mirror on a velcro flap. Works great for holding those little lightweight items you've gotta have but don't want cluttering up the bottom of the trunk. You can order direct from their site http://www.cruzcraft.com/motorcycle-luggage-yamaha-venture-YVLO.html or from their eBay store http://stores.ebay.com/Ted-Brooks-Motorsports
royalstarjac Posted August 4, 2008 #2 Posted August 4, 2008 It looks nice but $60? Ouch! I might pay half that.-Jack
Newfie Bill Posted August 4, 2008 #3 Posted August 4, 2008 Hi Everyone! This looks really nice. However, for those of you who are handy, I've had my own homemade for sometime now. I used a large black makeup bag with inside pouches and installed it on the inside screws that hold the trunck rack down. I put larger washers on the inside of the bag to hold it securly. It only cost about $15.00 from WallyMart. Cheers! Newfie Bill 99 RSV Paradise, NL
seforeman Posted August 4, 2008 #4 Posted August 4, 2008 Newfie Bill, Would like to see that - can you post a pic.. Stuart
jryan Posted August 4, 2008 Author #6 Posted August 4, 2008 Yea, the price was high, but then just about any bag for these things is. I had a homemade one on my VR that worked too, but this one does work pretty slick & has a bunch of pockets. Not for everybody...just a thought...
ventureblue Posted August 7, 2008 #7 Posted August 7, 2008 $60 Good Lordy I'm thinking i could make one for 1/4 of the price.. thanks for the idea.

The saddlebag lid organizers are in stock though and are actually a good value at $ 39 for the pair.

I wonder if someother site carrys them or similar?

ventureblue Posted August 12, 2008 #13 Posted August 12, 2008 Carefull... several things shown as for Venture on this site are actually for the Wing - won't fit. so your saying these wont fit the venture?
Dave3 Posted September 6, 2008 #14 Posted September 6, 2008 I have the trunk organizer from American, it is made for the Venture. I'm going to get the saddlebag set as well. These are great for any price(but I'm glad they're cheap)!
