RT dry bag mounting

[basilr]

I have a 2005 R1200RT that I am taking across Canada this summer. I plan on taking two dry bags strapped on behind me plus of course, the panniers and a tank bag.

 

There doesn't seem to be a lot of places to attach tie down straps so rather than trying to re-invent the wheel, I wonder if there are others here that could share their tie down systems.

 

Pictures would be nice, and if you have any, my email is basilr@cablelan.net.

 

Thanks.

Roc straps tied to the passenger grab rails and mounted in an X pattern do an excellent job.

I used that method but wasn't 100% pleased with the outcome. I'm putting some bungie buddies on the paniers so I can secure the bags better. I'll take some pictures.

I have a H2Wheels Xtra Large bag that I attach with her Double D rings straps. I do the same on my 08. Works well for me.

Hope this works.

Trying to add a picture but having difficulty. I read the" adding a file" in FAQ, but not having much luck. Any suggestions?

I used Photobucket to post a couple of pics on a different forum but it was a long time ago, although I think it was fairly easy.

+1 on da Roc straps, they are very quick and easy to use but are very secure. I use the x pattern as well.

I use Helen 2 Wheels pack straps tied to the passenger grab rails and mounted in an X pattern thru the handles of my Ortlieb Dry Bag. This bag is mounted on my passenger seat.

 

Sorry I don't have a picture but this pdf might give you a feel for what I am describing. See the last page of this document: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/downloads/HelenTwowheels.pdf
