can this bag be used if you only have a front and back rail to secure it to? my side rails are not strap-able...

Yes there are straps on the front and rear of the bag. They are not as wide as the ones on the side but they should do the job.

I purchased a Yakima Load Warrior cargo rack to provide strapping points all around and to keep the bag off the roof of the car with a heavy load. I have a 2010 Outback (no strappable side rails) and this system works great.

The top rail is not really useable. It has side rails but they are limited.

When you talk about "Mounting Hardware", if you have rails, you don't need anything else. If there is nothing to attach the straps to; then, you'll need to get something to strap this to.There are 8 straps, (two non each side) that strap go around something and latch back into a clasp. As long as there is something to secure that strap to, you have everything you need.

The bag does not have the typical side strap for a belt, but I am sure you could tie the strap to your belt or even get a smaller strap. Each bag has 2 clip D-rings on it so its very versatile. You could easily use one of those rings to clip to a belt with a carabiner clip >^..^<

I actually ride my bike with this bag slung across my shoulder/back. It, for me, is all about how tight you make the straps. Also... strap goes on opposite shoulder from bag... but I suspect you already know that. Same shoulder? With just about any bag on same side as strap... there is good chance you'll have slippage...

The cargo bag is designed to be used with a full rack, The manufacturer technical department can be contacted at 1-800-521-0510 to find out if it is possible to secure the bag to the side rails.

Yes you can, be sure to bungee it down. The slot on the back makes it very EZ. Enjoy your bag.

I suppose that would depend on the person. I've never had this problem but understand the concern. But any strap would have this same issue, it just might be bumping into things from the front instead of the sides.

Probably could bolt the side rails together. I did not like this product - very cheaply made.

Yes you can. The long strap used to pull can also hook on to the other side. Making it like a side satchel.

No, this cannot. I would not recommend this bag. It's a very poor quality & the zipper broke on 1st use.

Yes, as long as you have enough room to thread the Velcro rip strips on the bottom of the bag under the rack rail platform. I'm sure that you will.

You could IF you have some sort of railing alongside the passenger seat to attach the straps to. The bag is very adaptable and the straps very adjustable, but they have to attach to Something! You would need a strong attachment place for the strap at each corner of the bag (although the straps are not quite in the corners). I hope this helps.

I don't think so . You need a side slot bar for the strap to fit in , the bottom screw will work . I only see a ring hole for a side strap.

I would not use it as a pannier since the lock could never hold up to a slight hit nor hard bump. It is meant as a vertical trunk lock. Any side pressure from the front or back could (and probably would) disengage it especially after some wear and usage. If you intend to use it as a trunk by fastening it to the saddlebag bracket, anything can be made strong enough by fabricating the right brackets. As a trunk I have no trouble with it on one of my Guzzis and would buy it again and have told others to do so. Great for the price if mounted as prescribed. Not being sure of your intent but if you want to use it as a saddlebag, I wouldn't. Another great trunk for the money is a Bestem T-bag which I have on a "California" for a couple dollars more. I wouldn't take a chance on the cheaper Asian non ABS saddlebags. So many are tempting but are garbage with many flaws and there are so many fly-by-night dealers out there that they ruin it the reputable ones. I know , I went through it. I hope this helps with whatever the intent is,Good luck.

I don't think so. The straps that hold it up are designed to wrap around rails.

Good day, our racks were made to be compatible with most panniers out on the market, pending that they attach to the side rails of a rack. Thank you and have a great day!
