Sorry about the tardy response.  Been on the road for weeks,  Responding to
say that I installed the Ventura system on the St and it was great.  Easy
install, carries lots of stuff ini bag that rides on passenger seat and
still has back of rack for additional stuff.  Bodywork not touched.  I am
very happy with it.
