Took a Willie and Max D-Ring velcro apart, fastened it under my seat. Added two more behind the seat and used the W and M trademark to make my homemade butt pad look better? HA Bungy my back pack to it using mini sissy pad/helmet rack as a stop. Still need bags for misc stuff and on a Deuce they actually to me make the fender blend in better. Still have the rear rack and Harley luggage for when I retire and get young again????YA probably go in a garage sale someday. Fine art hanging on the garage wall...

I've grocery shopped on bike before. Just put the grocery bag in front of me and used my legs to hold it up. It was a bit awkward but worked for me. When I had to stop, I'd use only the foot brake and held the bag with my right hand

There's a bungie net on the passenger part of my seat at all times. I can carry a 6 pack real easy up against my sissy bar. But you specified no passenger seat so I guess it don't count. Before I got the net I had to clench a bag between my teeth once. Not too far from home though.

They have no hooks to scratch paint. I have two pairs and they work great!

Many times just needed a few things from the grocery store so I just take the plastic bags they give me and tie a square knot around the handle bar between the risers. they can't go anywhere and you can load three of four of them. windshield helps.
