RE: [ST] Triumph throw-over soft bags

["Chris Warren" <chrisamywarren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the soft bags, but have not had a passenger on at the same time.  The 
mounting assembly for the bags is a piece of nylon material about as wide as 
the seat, about 5-8" long and which tapers a little at one end.  The nylon 
piece has two straps that encircle it.  You take the seat off and slide the 
nylon piece over the seat.  The straps go under the seat and that's what 
keeps it and the bags firmly attached to the bike.  Attached to this piece 
of nylon, on the top and towards the outer edges of the seat, are the quick 
release connectors for the bags.  Once in place, there are a few pieces of 
the strap that kind of stick up on top where the passenger would sit.  It is 
not completely smooth and I wondered if I had a passenger on with the bags 
would I have to wrap it in something or cover it with something to be 
comfortable.  I haven't given it much thought beyond that, but I don't think 
you could mount it any other way than the way it is designed.  My guess is 
that you'd probably want to come up with something that would smooth over 
the areas where the straps are.

I know this doesn't answer your question fully, but I hope it helps some.
