Will this bag mount well to a bike without a backrest or sissy bar? My FJR1300 is not "dress", but I like the design and size this offers.

I'm not sure if mounting this bag to your FJR would be a good fit, you would need to get pretty creative with attaching it as it's tie down design is for something solid behind it. Check out Saddlemen TS1450R Tunnel/Tail Bag - Black as I have one of these and it is a nice bag and might work better with your bike.

If you visit the Ibera website or youtube and look at their corporate videos, they recomend you do not use it with the seatpost mounted rack. this is due to the weight capacity for which both the rack and the pannier are rated.

No, I think it's too big. If you attach it to the handle bars the bag will hit your front wheel. This bag is tall, I don't think it would work.

It depends on what brand sissy bar you have. I looked at many different luggage racks/sissy bar combos till I matched mine up. Identify your backrest and your golden

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...

Depends on the seat I guess. I have a shadow which is about that size and it works great. You have to have a two person seat because this mounts where your passenger would sit. You need to have some sort of tiedown spots underneath where you mount it for the straps. The bag itself is pretty flexible so it's going to fit most bikes with a rear seat.

It is a sissy bar bag. I you have a back support it will attach, anyone riding on back won't enjoy to much as straps will need to go around.

I own a Heritage Softail Classic and it works as an excellent backrest to the point that I barely use my luggage rack. I do have to have it pretty full for it not to bee to far back. I guess this will depend on your size and your handlebar type as well.

The bracket that goes on the bike is like 3" or so wide so not sure . This is a great bag and holds alot. just get it and send it back if it doesn't work

no. this rack will not fit a bike with rear suspension. it bolts to the seat stays up by the seat and down by the axle which won't allow suspension movement. you will probably need a seatpost mounted rack such as: http://www.amazon.com/Ibera-Bicycle-Seatpost-mounted-Commuter-IB-RA1/dp/B002T5GHNI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422749113&sr=8-1&keywords=seatpost+rack+bicycle

I had this on my Suzuki 1400 without a luggage rack and it worked fine. It did however rest on the back fender and scuffed the paint finish a bit but I was able to buff it out. I would recommend a luggage rack for long term use. WM

I don't think it'll mount to the front of a bike or to the rear without a rack. It has two bars with threaded holes for allen head machine screws.

You're probably good to go with a suspended rack IF you have a fender over your rear wheel. The bike frame plus the fender mounts will likely keep this bag away from your spokes.

Hi there, it is going to be a bit of a problem if you have a passenger, once the bag is installed your passenger will not have much room to rest their foot on The page itself, you may want to purchase longer pegs for the back. Once you install the bag you may prefer to leave the foot peg up or down I prefer to leave it down so the bag kind of rests on it. But if you are going to have a passenger often on your bike you may want to purchase the longer pegs. Hope this answer helps you out. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas Lisa Carey

Likely, but consider that bag will be above the bike's center of gravity, so better secure contents against side to side motion and or put really light fluffy stuff in there. Ken

This bag is large, holds quite a bit of stuff, and can become very heavy. It is not made with shoulder straps, but I suppose you could make something work. If your wife has a sissy bar, I don't see how she could wear it and still sit.

My Bike is a 2013 Street Glide. I liked the Dayrunner Bag, but it fit too loosely on my Sissy Bar for my comfort. I have had a hard time finding a bag that will tighten onto this Bike's Sissy Bar.
