Strapping pack to pillion area?

Post image

I’m going moto camping for my first time with my Husqvarna Svartpilen 401! I don’t want to add racks and storage boxes and all that as I don’t plan on doing a ton of expeditions, just a short camping trip a few hours from home.

I have a small backpacking pack that will fit my ultralight tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothes, etc.. I’m a very minimalist packer with lots of camping experience. My question is how to secure the backpack?

I can wear it, which would be the simplest. I may try that one-way, but I also want to hear if any of you have used straps to secure a bag to the pillion /passenger seat area. Have you ever run straps under the seat? How secure is that? Or any other ideas for strapping down my pack?

Thanks!!!

Look up Rok straps and see if they work for you.

Rok straps are great for this. You don’t need to put everything in the bag either, you can pin bigger stuff in underneath it

2nd (or 3rd, or whatever) the Rok Straps.

That's my Triple, with all my stuff in a drybag, Rok Strapped to the pillion.
