I didn't want to hijack Jim's thread looking for one, but at the risk of committing heresy I've got a beef with the Large Saddlesack. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a thing of beauty, unequaled in craftsmanship and utility. The Large Saddlesack ideal, I'm totally on board with. In practice, not so much. I picked one up in November and spent the winter trying to get it to play nice with my bike, a 54cm Hunqapillar. The write-up on the website made it clear that I'd need a rack. No problem, I have a Nitto Big Rear Rack. Ah, but it doesn't really work with that; the tombstone interferes. I tried to resolve that by buying a Nitto Saddlebag Grip from another list member, but it didn't make enough of a difference. I spent an afternoon at the hardware store designing a 4" offset, but it was too flexy. Finally, I bit the bullet and got a Nitto r14 rear rack and it's... just okay. The springs on my B67 interferes with the bag so that the bottom half sticks under the springs, and it droops off the back of the rack just enough to obscure my dyno taillight. For whatever reason, I'm not yet willing to give up on the bag though I was sorely tempted by Jim's post. Has anyone with a non-gigantic frame had success mounting a Large Saddlesack without compromising it's aesthetics and/or it's utility?
