If you don't want to zip them to your frame and rack you can use stainles wire like I did in the pictures here.


The bags I make myself out of canvas and leather. I mix up my own batch of proofing cream fron bezwax and neetsfoot oil. This makes them totaly weather proof with no need for plastick bags or rain covers. I ride every day and got rid of my cars 6 years ago so the weather just don't matter to me. If you want to stay dry use oiled canvas!
