sierra dry saddlebags install and review

For under 200 dollars Nelson-Rigg's Sierra Dry Saddlebags are worth considering if you are on a budget or just saving your money for other Farkles. This review and install reveals a couple do's and don'ts that will help you improve the esthetics and stability of your bags. After logging several thousand miles with the bags I have to say the versatility and functionality of the Sierra Dry saddlebags is surprisingly good for such low priced luggage.
Note: The cable lock pictured was purchased at Mosko Moto's website.

I did a 10 day camping trip with these a couple months ago, solid bags. I like your zip tie idea, might try that. The velcro straps worked ok for me but that would look cleaner. And I didn't realize there's a pocket to slip the ends of the plastic supports in, good to know!

The backing plate is not well thought through, the big velcro straps need to go through the backing plate and will hold much better. The big straps over the seat are a must for me because I do not want to hang the bag solely on the rack. The straps carry a fair bit of wait on the saddle then, far less push or pull on the racks. especially on the track. This is a reasonably priced good product, that's why I bought it, but that backing plate is "half cooked"

How have those zip ties held up? I know that the bags can have a decent amount of downward force when traversing the rough stuff.

Wha is the velcro on the opening for. It doesnt seal the top?

It would of been nice if you would just slow down. That backing plate is what is confusing me.
