that bag will mess up your paint on your fender, get a rack for it to sit on :)

Maybe attach a section of mouse pad to the underside?

Mousepad will scratch also.
Definitely get some type of rack.

As long as she don't come flyin' off at highway speed. Make sure it's strapped on extra tight. I wouldn't want to trust anything of value to an $8.00 bag. No offense meant just my 2 cents.

How about a pair of panties under the bag? That wouldn't scratch your paint. ;)

Then you'd really have a "girly bike" :laugh :laugh

Looks good....but like they said, I'd get a rack or find some way to mount it off the paint. For the longest time I used one of those soft sided coolers that you can get at Wal-Mart. It looked good and had outer pockets great for storing stuff. I bought some rolls of velcro, bolted it to the back so that I had two velcro straps that I could wrap around my sissy bar, and I had an inexpensive bag that went on and off quickly. I do have a luggage rack that it rested on. Oh, and since it was a cooler to start with, was excellent for carrying cold brews to the lake or beach! :D

I only use it for my clear glass's and a wind breaker type jacket nothing heavy but i do think its a good idea to get a rack
