Default DIY Sissybar Backpack Setup

Good Morning,
I am looking for suggestions on how to attach, securely, a backpack to my quick detach sissy bar. 2012 FXDWG. It does not have a luggage rack. The HD backpack is expensive. I have 3 sitting on a shelf from wifes employer. Good quality stuff.
Forgive me if this has been talked to death already. A link to photos or key search words to type in google would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

You can always just get one of those motorcycle nets for like $10. I used one on a 8 hour trip and if I knew I would "overload" the bag I just attached some ratcheting tie down type straps. Didn't move at all

Here is an example http://www.walmart.com/ip/HitchMate-...chWeb/38582818

I have also tried that bag out but depending on what sissy bar one has, especially a short one like I had, I never liked how I thought it was going to fall off so I returned it. But I can see how this would be perfect with other sissy bars.

I got the Walmart bag also, just rode over 1000k miles with it, works very well for the money.

I have a Bowman sissy bar from Top Hand Ventures. The bag is very universal and should work fine with most sissy bars tho I have no experience with any other bars....
