Patrick, the Carsick Bags will work just fine under your toursack. While they worked fine on the top rack beam (because I could still roll em up), I found that if I tightened the elastic do-dad, I could then hang them off the lower rack beam... no problem under a saddlebag. On Friday, Novem

No, the mouths are mere open rectangles and the bags' sides continue straight from the bottom -- no "lid". To close, you flatten, then roll the tops inward where a male clip on the outside panel can fit into a female on the inside panel. Very simple and effective and, I daresay, waterproof. The ve

You can alter the way you make the cut (in brake cable I presume) to prevent the need for filing/grinding. The problem is the helical wrap of the flat stock that makes the compressionless outer structure; if the jaws of the cutter are at perfect perpendicular alignment, both jaws will try to bi
