Thanks all for your collective wisdom. I looked at it again and don't think it would work either. And the R50 won't help much since I need help on the bottom. I'll try Steve's coroplast idea to see if that helps. I was trying to just have one big bag on this bike. But when I carry stuff it gets heavy and sags. I may add the coroplast and out a front bag on or just make sure I'm w/someone else w/more carrying capacity.
I never have a problem carrying stuff on my Betty. I'm so used to having 2 big bags and a rear rack. And then the sky is the limit literally. That and the 50 lb weight limit of the rack or whatever it's supposed to be. But I won't go far with that much weight anyway.
