geezer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 So here's my dilemma. Before purchasing my bike I would bring my six pack bag to work everyday completely full with meals. Now I'm unable to figure out a way to strap the bag to my bike, does anybody have any idea's? My only other option is to buy the backpack they sell but I would rather keep that $250 for other stuff. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooschnickens Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It looks like you could utilize the straps under the passenger seat to strap a couple cords/bungees over top of it. Although, which size bag is it? I've seen the large one and it's pretty massive. I'd worry about having something that tall perched on the back toppling over quite easily. Seems like a rear rack would be your best bet, here. You'd need something with a flat base to have any chance of properly mounting it. Givi, Yamaha and a couple others make rear racks. And cost less than the $250 backpack you're eyeballing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I just use a regular backpack for my meals. YOu can get one of those thermal bags from any grocery store to help keep stuff warm if needed.

Guest whitegas Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sounds like TC is packing ALOT of food though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 dunno if this will fit, but you could use one of these in conjunction with the loops under the seat http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Cargo-Net-Motorcycles-ATVs/dp/B003VLBPJA http://www.harborfreight.com/12-x-15-motorcycle-cargo-net-69621.html If the reach comes up short, Aerostich sells http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-frame-loops.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sounds like TC is packing ALOT of food though.I'm packing 4 meals and 2-3 shakes so a normal backpack doesn't really do the job. Plus all the food needs to stay cool throughout the day (I work outside in the sun). I was thinking a cargo net strapped to the underneath part of the rear seat... Can't really find any other good mounting points. The bag I have is the large one (5 meals) so it's pretty tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rmdet Posted March 1, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 1, 2015 Was looking for dimensions on your bag and saw a pic on the product site of your bag on a Yamaha.... [url=]http://www.sixpackbags.com/expert-innovator-500.html?pixlee_album_photo_id=39453991 [/url]Unfortunatly, it does not give any insight on how it is attached but there is an instagram link for the user - you could ask a fellow 6-packer who already figured something out. BTW, @hobbs I think the rokstraps you posted may be what I go with for trying to tie down my golf bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Oh wow, it's a lot bigger than my mind's eye had it. A rack behind the seat would sure help. The SW Motech rack has an attachment that's pretty large and flat. The way it mounts to the bike also adds more bungie locations Wonder if a taylor would be able to stitch on some straps w/Fastex buckles to the bottom of tat bag?

geezer Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I got a reply from the IG user who said he just used a strap on the back seat to fasten a bungee cord around it. I went ahead and bought a pack of the ROK straps and will update with pictures next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If you criss-cross the straps diagonally thru the handle of that bag, that should be pretty secure. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
