If your bike/scooter already has a large rack, this bag will work great. But it's a pain for an SV because there's no good rack that will fit it. I could look into a custom rack as described above but I just want to save others the trouble of having to do the same.

As a side note, anyone know anyone in Austin that will custom fab a rack as described above?
If you were up in my neck of the woods I would be glad to help you with the rack build thingy.

Any thoughts on how this would hold up it it were to be mounted vertically along side the tail of a bike? Or is this the type of bag that should only be mounted horizontally so that the door opens up?

I am still contemplating buying 2 of them to make saddlebags
