Default Kuryaky tour pak bag

I just purchases a Kuryaky 5251 XKursion bag that sits on top of the tour pak luggage rack.
I cannot find any instructions or vids to show how to actually secure this thing to the rack.
Any ideas. It has the 2 single hook straps and the 2 double hook straps.

How about the instruction sheet for it?

Default Kuryakyn bag mount straps

Yeah, I have this page. Doesn't really give a good idea of how to run the straps around the luggage rack. Just shows the straps
and says make sure it is secure before riding.
I know this bag can fit a bunch of different bikes/racks so didn't expect Kury to have instructions for every situation.
That is why I threw it up here to see if anyone has the same bag or similar bag and has a good way to run the straps.
Short term I can use heavy velcro and a cargo net, which I actually kind of like anyhow. But would be good to know how to do it with the straps.
Thanks

We've been using the Kuryakyn Roll bags on our bikes. My tent didn't fit in it very well so I just picked up a Nelson Riggs bag. Reading your question I thought I'd go put the new bag on to see how it fit.
I hook the back of the bag on first and run the strap behind the post that attaches to the tour pack then loop it once on the back bar. leave the straps loose and do the same on the front. Tighten the straps so the bag is centered side to side and front to back. If you follow what I've done you'll see the bag cannot move or shift in any direction tied down this way.
Be careful, I have pulled D rings off and the swivels through the webbing tightening the straps, as the bags age things weaken, I carry a few extra straps

One more thing, get an ultra brace mine supports the weight of the bag on the rack.

thanks for the pics. I looked at the NR bag but thought it was a little bigger than I wanted. Was a close choice.

I can post pictures of my tea bag strapped to the rack if you'd like, the tea bag has the straps built in and has a strong attachment.

A nice offer, but he hasn't visited HDForums in 3+ years, so just FYI he may not see it.

How much weight are you carrying with this bag?
