Just lived out of my El Sandoval bag for 15 days on a 2,700 mile trip. Is this my perfect bag??

This is a follow up to the initial video that I dropped on the El Sandoval bag before I headed out on the 2nd leg of the Love and Gratitude tour. I lived out of the bag for 15 days, traveled 2,700 miles and, except for 2 stints totaling 7 nights, I packed and unpacked my bike daily.

You should hook up with the Great American Convoy 2.0.

[@withPercy]

Yeah. Was talking to Adam about that last month. I start my tour heading west on 12 July. Am going to link up if the timing/route works out.

I strapped mine down very similar. Only I just used the two Rock straps that I had bought. And I did the same thing though, Criss-Cross inside the outer pouch. But on my Kawasaki voyager, I actually had to go down to the frame, just above the rear tire on both sides, to hook my straps onto. Did not have anything on the very top holding it down because I don't have a luggage rack on my trunk. But even just those two cris cross definitely gave a lot of support. And I actually put my rain gear bag in that pouch to do the same as you. Give me lumbar support and a good backrest

What do they say about great minds? 😂

[@rickphenicie]

Just an FYI, your closing the top and bottom of the bag wrong. I too have this bag and the top and bottom rolls are meant to be secured by the 2-straps of each side of the bag. So basically the roll gets turned to the side of the bag, not turned up as you show it. Hope that helps.

[@withPercy]

You are correct! I originally thought the “side” buckles were actually for affixing it to a sissy bar because they came across the back of the bag and weren’t centered on the side. I have other roll top bags as well and had expected that it would click into side buckles. Thanks for pointing that out. I’m about to do a 10k mile update on the bag and will point that out. Thanks!

[@Andrew-p7w]

Do you think the bottom two straps from Ciro would hold it? I run a chopped tour pack with no luggage rack. Interested in the bag but want to make sure it’ll work as a backseat bag secured to the quick connect points. Thanks!

[@withPercy]

I think that would work ok. I ended up putting the 2 rokstraps up top to my luggage rack because as I shifted my body around while leaning on the bag the top moved a bit. But it was not going to come off the bike.
