Does this attach just behind the seat or do you use them like panniers: one on each side of the rear wheel? Wondering why sold as a set...

I think it would be difficult to attach one behind the seat, although with the correct bike & some creativity I'll bet it could be done. I don't believe I'd try it with a cable operated rear brake, and you want to make sure it didn't contact your tire or tear up your fender. Unfolded dimensions are 8"w x 9"h x 13l on one of these. Plus, I didn't purchase mine as a set. I had one attached to a bike rack alongside a rear wheel for years & decided to by another to complete the set. Having one never made the bike off seem balance or anything like that; it's just nice having two.

I just used a ratchet strap ( three of them ) to hold them down. This works pretty good, but you need to be careful because they will rub together. This unit does a very good job transporting bikes or anything else you need. I have mine on the back of my camper and used it several times last year.

I have a rear rack, and I use it to secure items to the rear rack. It's very very nice. Actually - I have a front rack as well, and I'm thinking about getting another one for the front.

It worked fine on the rack that came with my bike. My bike rack does have side frames, though. I would think you need some sides to keep the panniers out of your spokes.

Most definitely. This product requires a rack over the rear wheel in order to have a point for attachment. Further, you will need to make sure that it has good points for attachment of the bags on the side. I personally use the topeak MTX tubular rack with spring (the spring arm will fit through the holes under the top bag to help secure it). You can get a beam rack with tubes to support the panniers, but those have weight limitations to them, and if you get this sort of bag, you probably want to carry a lot of stuff.

I have a standard rear carrier which is a perfect fit for the web which connects the two bags together. I tied the hooked straps to that. The carrier brackets also keep the bags well away from the rear wheel. Hope you like the bags as much as I do.

Yes they do. The bungee cord attaches to the bottom where the two posts are welded together and the top clips are held by the top horizontal bars. I have the transit rack and those panniers and they work great together.

Yes, that is true. The bike has a rear rack mounted to it already which is for the battery. Panniers are not an option on this bike. I recommend to my customers who wish to carry items while riding to procure some type of basket that easily hooks onto the handlebar or use a backpack.

They are throw over saddle bags. They have ties on the front and back. If the bags are touching any lower Mc parts you need the kit that attaches the bag to the bike with bolts.

This under-the-seat pack has velcro straps to attach to the seat tube vertically and to the seat rails horizontally. I don't remove mine when not riding, but it could be done relatively easily. It's generous size would make it an odd thing to carry around, I would think. Hope that helps.

I have axiom panniers and they hook on just fine. You won't find a better rack if you don't have the eyelets on your frame. Great choice for newer road bikes.

The bags cannot be separated. The middle section is 6 inches wide. There are plastic inserts that you have to install in the panniers to make them stay ridgid. They do lie flat if you don't install these, but they may be prone to getting caught in the spokes. You could probably fashion some type of backboard on your rack to prevent that.

Hi,There are two "pulls" from each side of the basket (underneath) that spring out and back in (little springs...pretty strong actually).It attaches to a bike rack. The attachments are curved to fit perfectly to the tubular shape of the bike rack rails. This is the best I can do to describe it.I've had this basket for years and I have never seen a better one out there. It is made of quality materials and is pretty sturdy. When I have it full of big textbooks, I use a couple of little bungy rope to add even more security. It's great to carry books, groceries, whatever.Hope this helps. I hightly recommend it.

It attaches to the seat post. So long as you have standard post nothing more than the gear.

They are "throw over" bags. Each bag has a flap which mates with the other via velcro and an additional support strap. I had mine attached together under the seat, no issues with them staying secured. They rested against my shocks so I didn't need any support brackets(1983 Yamaha xj750 Maxim). Hope this helps

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

They will strap across the seat so a rack is not always required. All bikes are different so please check your for exhaust, turn signal and chain clearance issues.Also, there is at least two reviews that speak directly to mounting the bags on 2 different bikes. You may find them helpful.Regards,MotorCycle Solutions LLC
