Stu Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 im after getting a tail pack for the bike to go with my sports paaniers i have got not the problem i have is a big lack of tie down points on my bike due to me thinking i wouldnt need them and cut them off and fitted a nice smart looking undertray anyway all i have to tie down to now is the pillion pegs!!! obviously one either side!!! so is there any tail packs out there that can somehow strap to the seat and be very stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 http://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=578754or webbing straps under the seat, that clip to the bag,, if you have panniers on strap to the panniers.. plenty of d-rings, clips etc..

Stu Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 hmmm interestingalso been looking at the oxford humb back tail pack but that has bungee straps on each corner so would somehow have to figure a way to attach the rear two straps to something was thinking of just going under the rear tail unit and attaching them together and i think there is a couple of spare D rings on the panniers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 My tail pack has the four bungee thing its actually 2 crossing bungees both fit to the same hook anchor point so dont need four points to hook too if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I bungee to the panniers, as the panniers are in the way of the luggage rails, and held tight by there own bungees.. you could get some webbing straps, fit d-rings to them, and have them poke out from under the seat, when not in use just stow them underneath..

Bogof Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 hmmm interestingalso been looking at the oxford humb back tail pack but that has bungee straps on each corner so would somehow have to figure a way to attach the rear two straps to something was thinking of just going under the rear tail unit and attaching them together It may or may not help, but I saw yesterday a small tail-tidy that was basically a number plate bracket but with an anchor point for bungees at either end. I think it was made by R&G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC1474 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have got the Whoppa bag from Baglux, and it is absolutely brilliant http://www.baglux.co.uk/whoppa.phpIt is connected to the back of the bike by two zips which are attached to the bike but are concealed when not in use.No bungees required, is dead neat, rock solid at all speeds, waterproof and carries as much as a set of panniers.I have had mine for about 5 years, and if I change bikes I just change the zip fastenings which takes minutes to fit once the rear seat is off, but you would not know they fittings are there unless you look carefully.No risk of scratched paintwork, no bungees to fasten to the bike and no risk of bungees snapping which I have seen on many occasions on my jaunts.

blakeatron Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ive got a kriega one that just has 2 straps that go under the pillion seat - very stable when full, but found it slopped around when empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
