Could someone explain the magnetic fasteners? How do they work or clip in? If you pick up the bag by the handel, are they likely to come undone?

They are not magnetic. It slides into a bracket and clicks in. It won't come open whEm lifted. Very nice bag.

Dear client, the front flap is closed with two snap fasteners ,which are under the decorations (belt fasteners).So when you pick up the bag by handle ,the flap won't open.Hope it is of help.There is someting wrong with the bag's description online and we have corrected them.Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

The best answer I have is that they are magnetic assisted fasteners with clips. If you look at the detail picts you will see a spring loaded slide in clip..In addition, I couldn't be happier with my bag! It's truly a show piece and worth WAY more then the $100+ they are asking..

Mine are permanently in place. Where are you trying to move them to from? Wuould a suitcase or duffle bag +/- padding work?

Yea - it's magnetized! If you had something heavy in the bag that could push it open like a book or water bottle or something - if it bumped it just right I think it could probably open it... but if you put in like front zipper area would be fine. Really like mine so far, just need to get more eyeshadow pans to fill it now! :)

I usually don't use the Velcro bracers. The bags sit fine on the rack ands stability is not an issue. The bags only have clips on one bag and the other hooks onto the bag with the clip. One piece of advice: The clip locks onto the bike rack. Put your hand under the bag to loosen the clip before lifting the bags off the rack. If you try to disengage them using the handle alone, the handle will break. I sew and was able to fix it, but it's definitely worth the extra 20 seconds to avoid the issue entirely.

Don't know that your doing anything wrong. We just step on the pedal, drop the diaper in, and let go of the pedal and it pulls it down. When you change your bag are you pulling it through some and then tying the knot? That might could be a problem. Maybe when you change the bag pull down about a 1/2 to a foot of bag tie knot and then see if that helps maybe its just been to snug. We love ours.

Yes, it has a magnetic closure. To be honest, the magnet is pretty strong -- as long as you don't stuff the bag. If you stack your things too high it will block the magnet; if you pack the center below it too full and wide, then the magnets won't meet and adhere to each other. The bag does not have a very wide base, plus it is tall, so those combined factors would make it more likely to tip over. However, I didnt have the bag long enough to see if it would tip over often. (I returned it due to it being too small for my needs.)

Mine did the very same thing. The strap stretched on my during my first outing with it. My friend his the same axe with no issues. I hope you still have the sheath because its an easy fix. What I did was take it to a local leather shop and had them add a second snap to the strap. Only coat me $3 and was a great fix thus far. Haven't seen replacements personally.

You may be seeing the loop that u use to carry the bag when it is transformed into its small packable, portable style. You use the loop to hook it to your belt or bigger bag, or just to carry it. It folds up real small. I hooked it to my bigger bookbag when we went to Rome, in case I bought something I would have an extra bag. I may be completely wrong, but that would be my guess if you are referring to the loop I am thinking of.

I just use the magnetic attachments to connect to my tank so I can easily remove the bag. However I have found that at higher speeds the bag will try to lift off. The straps would help keep it attached. You should be able to tie or clip the straps to the frame or whatever it can reach. I really like the bag and for the price it is high quality. The bag has for lack of better words a pouch on the bottom side where the straps are that is open on the top and bottom since I don't use the straps I "cheated" and use the straps to tie an old speaker magnet inside that pouch to reinforce it's hold. With the Goldwing you probably have more of a farling than I have and most likely will not have the same issue as I have. There is plenty of room in the bag and touchscreen devices will work under the plastic.

I hope your purse is made of leather or something similarly sturdy. Even getting one of these magnets stuck on a metal surface is gonna be hell to unsnap. Be careful you don't get your fingers stuck in there. They are very powerful!

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

Hi William. I own one of these. It attaches with 3 straps - two are elastic and one (at the top) is elastic with Velcro. Basically you open up the compartment, slip the bag on the compartment cover, sliding it from the bottom. Then the strap attached to the top of the bag feeds down and attaches to one of the elastic ones with Velcro to keep the bag from sliding down. Works great.

I went to a hardware store and found some longer screws that would fit the hole, i also had to drill new holes in the speed bag platform, i got permission from my local gym to do this since i was basically the only speedbag user in the gym, not every platform is fit for this swivel so additional things might pop up, like having to drill new holes and getting screws long enought to go through to the other end of the platform with bolts so it holds up, good luck fiddle with it and keep on speedbaggin

There are little plastic tabs on the outside edge of the top support bar (if you put it together correctly). Just make sure the top of the bag and the string are hooked into those, then gently tighten the drawstring to hold it in place. In my experience the middle bag is the *most* secure attachment.

the only solution I came up with was to install two small stainless steel rings on the small center zipper pulls, and lock them together..it's not ideal but can think of no other way...the rings are like key rings, 1/4 inch and slotted...I got them online...I also wrote High Sierra and requested they improve their bag by going back to the larger/sturdier zippers it had just last year..it really is baffling to get a check through bag you can't lock properly

I just stapled them with small staples. It's quicker than tucking them in, but that works quite well too. The paper has enough friction not to open back up. Just sort of take the flap and tuck it inside folding at the opening while holding the bag part open. Not to mention they look nicer tucked in.

I have 2 of these pick-ups on my 2 Blueridge guitars. on the first one I stuck the bag with the battery to the neck block which means you have to loosen the strings to get your hand in the soundhole. On the second one I did not stick the bag to anything, it is just loose inside the guitar & is very easy to get to without loosening the string. all you have to do is fish the wires out to get to the bag & it's very simple. It's out of sight & so are the wires. Hope this helps.
