Which bag model is it that you have? Do you have any more pictures of it? I kind of don't like that it covers the rear shock..

I just bought the Solo bag. Very well made. Not a huge amount of storage. For example, only room for a light weight jacket, shirt and gloves.
If you are going for a day ride or overnight and travel light it is perfect.
Nylon straps secure the bag to the fender strut. You may need to loosen the fender strut bolt in order to position the strap. Since I was concerned about damaging the paint on the fender, I picked up a black HD detachable side plate on ebay (already have the docking hardware on the bike) and used a cutting wheel to cut off the top which would hold the sissy bar, and hang the bag off the side plate.

P.S. Robert at Garage Leathers is a good guy to deal with.

Since I'm worried about messing up the paint on my fender and don't have the tools necessary to cut metal, is there an alternative to the docking hardware set-up?
Has anybody without the brackets experienced any issues with their paint job with these bags?
Is it possible to cover the nylon with something to keep it softer so it doesn't scratch?

ive recently powder coated my fender strut black and so far the straps havent rubbed the powder off or damged the fender. have took the bag off a couple times to wash and just polished off were the straps have been rubbing, but no damage. my strap doesnt actually touch the fender, just the strut cover. of course, i have the 07 with the strut covers, since i think the newer models dont have covers, not sure. hope this helps!!
