Roxy: Saddle Up

After endless searching online for the right saddlebag, I decided to try using a MOLLE dump bag I already had.  It was exactly the right size (about 7" x 7") and the MOLLE backing gave me a lot of options for attachment points.

I just used a 1" strap and looped it around the seat mounting brackets.  It fit well, but I found that it came very close to touching the tire.

To fix that, I installed a bracket into the mounting hole for the winker.  I slide the bracket into the center row of MOLLE strips and that held the bag perfectly vertical.

Everything worked out better than I expected, though I realized that this solution will only work until the winkers get installed.
