    has anyone tried this? i am thinking because it is a rigid bag, if i strap it to the back seat it may give a little back support. Plus they are listed as being waterproof, which is nice.

    Mate similar to what I have
    I'll give yah a hint
    Make up a board out of ply or something the length and width of the bag to put down first on the rack
    Stops the bag from banging on the paint.
    Also helps with the Occys/straps

    Have a few camping trips planned as well, installed the Bungee Assist hooks, and grabbed some assorted Rok Straps.
    ... Then bought a few too many bags hoping to get some back support, so far I haven't found anything I'm real happy with.

    I ended up with the Rivco hitch, hitch rack and bag, that pretty much took care of the bag.
    Not sure what to do for back support.

    My next purchase will be the DriRider tail bag, shipping is high, comes from down under.
    @$#%, I have more bags than windshields now!

    I use the Dry Spec bag with my Rivco hitch rack. NOTHING inside gets wet.

    Mate just picked mine up and its a winner
    Super strong Zips and heaps of room
    Has a nylon frame for the walls of it
    Had Dririder for maybe 35 years and although the stuff fades yah cant break it
    And them 2 pockets on either side that drop down have zips to lower them down if you need them ?
    Measured it up and made a flat bit out of Ply to put in between it and the rack so I could keep it off the paint.
    And postage, tell me about it
    Cost me $35 American near $50 Australian to have a Küryakyn passenger drink thingy sent over
    Postage sucks
    But the bag is a definite winner

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    Just one question, ever since I saw this I wondered how the heck do you not get a ticket for blocking the Lisc. plate?

    It's the same as a truck pulling a 5th wheel or a car pulling a trailer.
