I run 38 & 42.

re: the tail pack. I guess that makes a difference if you mount it forward.
Besides, a soft bag on a ventura rack is much less mass than a top box, and less affected by cross winds too
Its personal preference I suppose

Those Bar pressures you quote in my manual are for: Rider + Passenger+ Luggage it actually says 2.4 front 2.9 rear.

For solo Rider + Luggage it says 2.1 bar F 2.8bar R without checking that's how l got to 32F 34 R

When l was at Snells l did question the tyre pressures, as they had put new tyres on for me, the front must have loss some pressure as it was down to 29 psi the back was 34, as l always run my VFR's at 36 f 42 rear i thought they cocked up, but they said Ducati's run with lower presssures l think they are right, as l feel the front feels skitish with 36 in it the rear well the Jury is out of that one, as l cannot tell much differance between 34 and 42 unless l have a pillion.
