Strapped right to my factory luggage rack, but I will be building a larger base/gas holder for it and permanently mounting it. Fits a klim krios in XL no problem. just spent 16 days down the west coast and needed better tail bag. Will attach pic on bike Saturday. Found on Amazon for $80. It had been returned. Looks new to me.

They have a great product. I have used their now discontinued larger 33l + tailbag (similar to their Weekender) on a daily basis for over 8 years. It did get replaced under their great warranty once, due to one of the plastic tie downs breaking. It failed 30 miles in on an off road trail. Of Course! I'm glad I keep an extra set of tie downs with me. I sent in the old one & they sent me a brand new one. Nice!. Very quick turnaround too. 1 1/2 yrs ago I bought a set of their Sierra Dry Saddlebags that I found on sale. A buddy of mine liked them so much, he got a set on the same sale too. They stay put and work really well on my Happy Trails rear side rack mounts.

I had one of the plastic tiedowns break on me too. The bag came off and got up in between my rear tire and rear fender. Some guy pulled up beside me and started pointing. I looked back and there was a cloud of black smoke in the air. Wish I woulda took a picture of it. It was melted down.

Keep the zipper lubed up. I use silicone spray on mine. It makes a huge difference on smoothness and I have seen the zipper go bad in Nelson Riggs bags.
