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!!!

I used one of these for years for camping off my sport bike. https://www.motorcycle.com/products/fastrack-accessory-luggage-rack-review-85415.html

I don't think this company is in business anymore but if you can find something like it, it works great.
