How does that Licks bag mount?

I replaced them with plastic electrical cable zip ties. They are easier to place, more secure and the excess can be cut off. They are easy to cut to remove the bag and easy to replace.
Great write-up. Question though. will this bag work with passenger footpegs?

Kind of the same issue. I have the rack on a Nightster and I'm looking for a small bag that will fit the rack with minimal overhang.

Anyone seen or have a recommendation?

Don't know. I NEVER ride 2-up and do not have passenger footpegs. Maybe someone who does could answer this question.

Yes you can use the passenger foot pegs, they will just need to be spaced out 1" if you still wish for the peg to fold up on the outside of the bag.

Check out Bikers Friend page. They show their bags on all types of bikes and they have a great product. Check out the roll bag that substitutes as a backrest. http://www.bikersfriend.com/
