Soft luggage

Hi,

How did you attach it to the bike?
Do you think I could do something similar with a GT, with the seat rest in place?

The bag is secured using the two brightly coloured straps. For added security, the straps pass through the carrying straps on the bag.
The main trick that i've done with my set up is that i've bolted a piece of 12mm thick plywood to my rack. I have used wing nuts, so the board is easy to remove when I don't want it to be on the bike.
The board is almost the same width (and depth) as the bag so the bottom of the bag is fully supported & it can't sag on either side of the rack. The straps go around the board, not the rack.
 
I like the bag setup. It's very clean although It's almost as wide as your license plate/Billboard.
 
Wow!
When riding, your Center Mass must be at your chin?

I'd like to see more photos of how you're mounting those burly bags to your custom side racks. looking at their website it appears that you're using the "throw over" model. Are you just using the two loops on the racks to attach to the bags? Inquiring minds want to know.....
