once installed, will the bag cause any problem for the passenger's foot position?

Yes. You cannot have these on with a passenger; at least on a Sportster. You could if your passenger pegs were twice as long. However, if you have a sissy bar with quick release mounts, you can make it work. I have a sissy bar and sometimes install it between the mounting bolts; though it looks silly, it is usable. Also note that if you do that, you may have to take off the fuel can on the left side because with some newer Sportsters have the side mounted license plate.

The bag does diminish some clearance for the foot peg on the left side. However, the passenger's foot can still rest on the foot peg.

Yes, the bag definitely causes a problem for the passenger's foot position. My passenger complained about the bag making in hard to get a good footing on the peg. One solution is to get the foot peg extension kit but even with this it doesn't completely solve the problem. On a long ride I just take the bag off for the passenger's comfort.

Once the saddlebag is installed there is no place for your passengers foot because you'll have to remove the foot peg to install the saddlebag.

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

It will but it's still ok to ride as passenger. The more you stuff in the bag the harder it gets to have a comfy position for the left foot that needs to reach over and around the bag.

Yes it will restrict the rear footpeg a little. The way I have the bag fitted means it sits right on the peg and while you could still use it, much of the peg is covered. So I guess it's possible to use but made a bit more difficult. You could fit the bag a little higher by pulling the straps tighter and that would give you more room. I only have the single seat on so it's not an issue but the bag means I have my wet weather gear with me all the time.Hope this is of some help. It is a great bag but I guess it's a game of trade offs.Good luck.Mike

Front to back rails would be more than sufficient. My cars don't even have rails, and the straps were long enough to go inside the car and fasten to one another. Any Rails would be Zero issue for this bag. I would also recommend the "anti skid" mat, if you were looking for maximum security. It was pretty inexpensive, and gave me extra piece of mind (considering i had no rails)

It'll raise the seated position maybe 2 inches, but it shouldn't really be enough to require a change in footpeg position. I used one on a Suzuki boulevard and my wife had no issues.

Yes. I added a recently re-released jansport D2 bag to this frame with no problems.

I mounted mine on the left side to avoid drilling into the airbag. You could also use industrial velcro.

I think it will be an issue. I now have a DRZ 400, w/ side racks that prevent the bags from touching the exhaust, I owned 2 KLR's and I think the bag will touch the exhaust.

Thanks for the inquiry. Yes, if you do not have a rear luggage rack bag fits on the rear part of seat where passenger would sit.Best regardsRichard

the bag is designed to be attached to crossbars front and back, and to the racks on both sides. I simply put a exercise mat on the roof. I drove 2,600kms (1,600 miles) and no scratches. If your basket is large enough so that the bag doesn't "spill" over, I guess you should be alright.

I have a Bonneville and have had a passenger ride just fine. You may want to pad the straps that cross the top of the seat.

I am sorry I don't know that information, mine are on a sport touring bike. There is no interference with foot placement for my passenger, the bags are able to move forward and back under the seat so I don't see why not.

We bring it right down the jetway and gate check it like you would a stoller. We carry my cushion onboard and we have never had a problem.

It will probably help with sagging. I have mixed feelings about the product, seems Im not getting as good of performace as when I had first installed them. They could just be in need of adjustment. Decent product for the $ I guess considering the cost to do air bags.

I don't believe so. Mine is the same way but does not interfere with the bag

Yes, you may need a support bar for the possible direct drop on your driver head. There is padding over the club area but no real structure at the head of the bag.

I think it would allow the air bags to open, because the seat portion isn't overly tight. It stays in place but I THINK it would move under that kind of pressure.

Yes, to alleviate this, make sure seat post is free of grease & dust. It also depends on how much weight you have in the back. I've mastered giving it a nudge to put it back in alignment while riding...A minor inconvenience on a less than 50 mile ride. If you're going to be planning and extended trip I'd suggest a fixed rack. I bought the Topeak 29'er rack which also accommodates the MTX trunk bag.

My concern would be the edges of the prism ruining the duffel bag.http://roneibschutz.com/
