Thanks for Replies, looks like I'll be getting one .

I used reusable plastic zip ties to hold the bag on.
A little electric tape on the swing arm to help prevent ware.

How did you guys keep the top rear most strap from rubbing the rear wheel belt pulley mine is rubbing a little and keeps sliding down the sing arm. My straps are as tight as I can get them I guess I might try the Heavy Duty Zip tie Idea with some tape to prevent rubbing off the paint.

I just put mine on a little over a week ago. We do sell them too! I used heavy duty zip ties and electrical tape on the swing arm. If yoau re concerned about rain, jsut get a small plastic trash bag and put it inside the bag and keep everything in it. It will stay dry for sure. I lvoe this little bag. It is great to have storage.

I have had the same bag on my rocker for a year and LOVE it!!! Well made and priced right! It stays pretty dry, but I put my chnage of clothes in thin plastic bags to make sure they stay dry. ALSO, someone mentioned the rubbing of the leather straps on the frame - I put moleskin from the drugstore/foot dept. on the STRAPS where they hit the frame and it helps alot. The moleskin is used in shoes to prevent blisters and hot spots. We use it hiking and it's a life saver!
