Thanks for the opines all.

The bag is made by Bad N G. Though it dont look much bigger than my swingarm bag it is almost the same size as my rucksack. And the four equal corners make a big difference on storage for my laptop and sneakers.

Great saddlebags but thats just kinda one bag too many for my taste on the slim. Im weird that way. Haha.

Think im gonna order it this weekend.

Looks like an impulse buy. Looks wise the swingarm bag is cooler. Save your money or get something custom made like I did for my tool bag.

Bad N G made me a great swing arm bag with white accent stitch, you wont be disappointed in Greg's work. Their prices are great for what you get.

IMHO it wants to look balanced with one either side.

Not sure about how it mounts up, but if I can get another ghost bracket I could just use my existing detachable docking points.

Swing the ruck around so it sits on the passenger pad. But the "solo saddle bag" isn't bad, It's just an over size swingarm bag.
Check this guy out.

I was having the same issue. I love my swingarm bag but it doesn't hold much. So I made this:


Just finished it today. It's 10"x10"x5". Enough to hold gym shoes and some clothes. I used it today to carry my work clothes and lunch.
