Default How to secure Willie and Max Raptor Throw-Over Saddlebags

So no directions came with the bags or support brackets so how am I supposed to secure the bags in place to the support bars?

There's probably a little cloth/nylon loop at the front and rear that you can run the shoelace thru and tie to the bars.

I used removable zip ties on mine.

+1 on cable ties. I also keep a bunch in the tool bag because they're so useful.

I mounted mine using "Ghost Brackets". Makes taking them off and putting them on a breeze - takes less than a minute...

Anyone have any pics of how they zip tied them? The mounting straps seem to be pretty far from the support brackets that I'm curious how you used the zip ties to secure them.
