How to fit luggage?

I usually find that the bin bags I use are kept in place with judicious use of sticky tape and blind faith. Failing that I resort to a big hammer.

Here are photos of the fitting instructions .... unfortunately the originals are not in great condition but they may help.
I'll try to scan them properly when I get the chance.

Cheers for those. Mine definitely has a bracket that isn't shown in those pics, looks like I'll have to find a work round for it

There was no threaded bracket on mine either.

Yeah, my guess is it's part of the Ventura rack.

Photos please

Having fitted pannier racks and a givi rack to hanna's recently - I may have a solution

Daft question maybe but they are nit for some other spurious part like a tail tidy ?

The threaded bracket you refer to IS off the ventura system, I have both the pannier frames and ventura rack fitted to mine

My solution was to buy longer bolts, drill the thread out of the threaded bracket just enough to take the bolt and it will then screw into the pannier frames, allowing the now unthreaded bracket to support the ventura L brackets, hope that makes sense?

Cheers
