Default throw over saddle bags+solo seat

Anybody have any suggestions how I can keep my bags from slipping side to side? with my new solo seat nothing is actually holding the bags down.

Zip ties, tie them to the shocks and frame, turn signals or what you find handy. Should be some small loops on the saddlebags to slip the zip ties through.

What ever you do make sure they dont have any way to get into your tire or belt. Last year a friend of mine bag got stuck in between tire and fender and down he went. Just got off highway so minor injuries and minor damage to bike. Be careful please. Use the right stuff for the bike.
