That may be awesome to use for a light tour. I'm in southern CA and was thinking totake the bike to Vegas or Palm Springs.
It looks like a saddleman. I don't have a rack or pillion backrest. Do you weave the straps under the seat?
From what you said about the rack's weight limit, I'd be wary of putting it on therack, but as a backrest, it'd be perfect!
I didn't actively use the bag, the whole thing was just a study, a photoshoot to see how it would go, to discover all the options I had. I have another bagger motorcycle, so I don't really use Rocket when I need to haul stuff.
But I'd strap to the shown bag to the rear of G model's backrest. Maybe I would have put one strap under the seat to keep it tight. Guess, depends how heavy.
