Anyone successfully strap a bag like this to the rear seat? How’d you do it?

I haven't used that particular bag but I use a Saddlemen BR4100 back seat bag that works great.

I bought flat bungee straps at Tractor Supply that have a plastic coated hook that just fits the OEM grab rails.

Yes. Rok Staps crossed to end of the worthless passenger grips.works fine on my Wolfman bag.

Thanks! Can’t say I totally trust strapping things to those supposed passenger grips, but I guess if I just use that bag for clothes and things of not much value, what’s the worst that could happen!

I zip tied 2 D rings to each grab rail. Now, anything on the real seat can be bungeed to these D rings and be held safely.

there are notches at the end of the hand rails which will secure round cord type bungee cords (i bought mine from wal-mart in plastic container value pack) in place if you cross them on top of the bag. I rode 1K miles with a ruck sack strapped to the back seat with 2 bungee cords in this manner.

You may want consider mounting the bag vertical instead of horizontal, if it is to wide.

I stand mine up and cross strap it to handles up to trunk rack

Matt, buy one of these & mount under the seat. Now you can tie anything down! Easy to install & works like a charm! I have the Saddlemen BR3400 seat bag & it came with the Versa mount.

I use my Tractor Supply bungees to hold a 30 lb., $600 tent. It has traveled safely for a couple of thousand miles.

Drilled 2 holes in each grab rail. looped a large cable tie (black) thru the holes and attach bungie/ Rok strap to cable tie loop.

I have the same kit & the set up comes with the BR3400 series bag & it would work as it is VERY versatile!! & it also comes with straps to use it as a back pack & has a built in backrest for the driver.

I use the strap kit to mount the bag on my pack-it rack type carrier, works perfect very well made & engineered
strap kit.

Willie & Max also make a similar set-up. Seems like 1 came with something I bought from Kuryakyn a while back as well.
Works nicely.:thumbup:

Saddlemen BR3400, two bungees zip-tied to the bag. 10 seconds on, 5 seconds off. HOLDS LIKE A CHAMP! As witnessed on my journey on the tail a few weeks ago:

I used a bag similar in size to what you showed with carrying handles. I tied it down using bungee cords wraped around the passenger grab rails with the hook ends attached to the carrying handles. Completed a 5K trip with it strapped down that way and never had any problems.

A friend does that but I saw where it was lying against the paint under the handles. Likely does no damage to the paint but it would concern me somewhat.

In fact it has done a very slight amount of damage on mine, which is why you might see in one of the photos the soft towel that I now place underneath it. No biggie.

As stated above.. there is a track in the bottom of the OEM grip. Run a round bungee under the handle and X fasten them over the top of the bag on the back seat. I've traveled around half the country like this. Never feel like I'll loose my back. Secure as anything you fasten a bungee to.
