There are some Bushwhacker pannier offered here on Amazon. I was wondering how this bag might attach once some panniers were on first. Say you put the Bushwhacker panniers on and then try to attach the bag on top of them. Thank you

Hi Shawn. First of all.... do you have the Bushwhacker trunk bag? If so, you are familiar with the Velcro straps on the bottom which attach the bag to the rack. If one chooses to add the Bushwhacker panniers first (there are a few models) then all one needs to do is run the four straps on the bottom of the trunk bag, through four corresponding "guides" located on the top of the panniers. If you Google (images) Bushwhacker Police Pannier, the first couple images that come up show the guides I'm referring to. Hope this helps. SPO

No problem. The best thing is that you can just release the bag from the part that stays attached to the bike and just carry the bag around. It takes a couple seconds to release and to just click back in.

I have used panniers made from small square buckets. You need a rigid "bag" because there is no support for parts of panniers that hang low.

You'd have to have frames attached to either the front or rear to hang the pannier bags from; I've done this on other bikes I've owned. The rack the back battery is on would not be useful (or probably safe) for hanging bags, but if you get the hardware attached properly for hanging bags they should be fine to use.

My bike is a DR650. It has DirtBagz brand pannier brackets. I have not fitted the Riggs to them yet but I wouldn't want to go with out the brackets. I think there would be melting on the exhaust and possibly interference with the rear tire while riding on rough terrain. YMMV

It should mount to any handlebars. Is there anything in front of the handlebars that would prevent the bag from sitting there? There is a clamping mechanism that he bag slides in and out of. The biggest problem we have run in to is making sure our cables are out of the way of the bag when it is locked in place.

i'm a geezer, so my experience may be outdated. i have two racks, one on my touring bike and the other on my grocery/town bike. i did use a rack trunk on one trip, but i didn't like the way stuff shifted around. my sleeping bag fits very well on the front rack ( i secure with cutup inner tubes), freeing up a pannier. on my grocery bike, i tried small panniers once, but didn't need that much room. i use the front rack for things like a gallon of milk or toilet paper (12 pack rides fine). once installed, i have had no problems with either rack.

This is what i did. The bag was overflowing over the front crossbar by about half a foot but with all the straps it should not be a problem. My recommendation is to make sure it is at least snugly wedged in front of the rear horizontal crossbar to secure it further for highway speeds. Just check after each rest stop to make sure it has not moved. The straps are very adjustable and should keep it nice and secure

The only straps are on the top of the bag. To secure the sides of the pannier, there are hooks attached by short bungee loops that you can fasten to your rack. I find that when the contents of the bag are heavy (e.g. a gallon of milk or juice in each side) the bag does not stay flush against the side of my bike when I take corners. I mainly use the bag for grocery trips and simply go slower around corners, but when I take weekend trips and pack mainly clothes, then I can keep my speed without the weight shifting around.Short answer is no, just hooks on bungees, one per side.

There is a video on the Lopro site that shows options for attaching the bag. I recommend you watch it. You'll get a good sense of the size of the bag and options for attaching it.

Not sure, but I'd say probably not, as it does not have any vertical supports connecting the rack itself to the rear wheel axle, as some do. Without those supports, it appears the pannier bag, especially when loaded, could easily sag inward into the spokes of the wheel behind the rear frame member of the bike. Aside from that, the rack would be strong enough, it just doesn't have the protection the vertical supports would otherwise provide to keep the bottom of the bags out of the spokes. I don't know anything about panniers except what I can see on the Amazon listings, so I don't know if they have some sort of internal structure that keeps the bags apart without the aid of a prop from a rack support, but I can't see this being the case. If they do, then this rack would do fine with them, but, like I say, I don't know about that part of it; sorry.

I have a set of bags like this, called tour de france. To fix the bag getting caught in the spokes get thin board made of wood or plastic, cut to size, bolt to the bike rack. Then you wont have to worry about the corners bending in or the tie downs getting caught

This bag attaches via velcro straps on the bottom of the bag. If there are grooves along the side of the rack, it'll attach.

As I recall, they do have a means of attaching to a rack at the bottom - but can't recall and don't have easy access to check. As a practical matter I am not sure it is critical as the panniers stay down when loaded and roll up when empty. I would not recommend this setup for rough terrain mountain biking, but highly recommend it for road or trails. I used it for 187 mile ride on the C&O; Canal Towpath, which is essentially a long dirt road.

Fits with minor modifications, on a TREK/Bontrager BackRack S. There is a plastic pin on the back of the mount that does not line up with the round hole in the BackRack. You could modify this by cutting off the pin, then it would fit. May interfere with the Bontrager bag mounting system.Update: Cut off the plastic pin, fits very securely with the two supplied bolts. Does not interfere with the mounting system for the Bontrager bags.

There may be some confusion, but I think you are asking if you could mount a U Lock on your bike for carrying at the same time you are using this bag. I don't have my bike in front of me as I write this, but I am skeptical that you could mount the U Lock and still have this bag on your bike. Where would you mount the U-Lock? I have the medium size bag on my bike, and I use it to store a bicycle pump, spare tube, some tubes, and sunglasses. I like the bag and I am happy with my purchase. But you will probably have to carry a U Lock in your backpack, or somewhere on a back rack.
