RE: Best Luggage for a few days away? - 3

Gents,
Thanks for the input! Lots to consider. As I need to leave the bike parked for long periods of time with all my gear in it I need hard luggage as the parking is in an open garage. At this stage I’m leaning towards the Shad 36L stuff. Interesting thoughts and thanks again for all the input.
Cheers,
JB

Many thanks for that Graham

Are you using that to secure the bag to the bike (rack) or to 'lock' the bag zips together?

I use it to secure the bag to the rack, I have a separate small padlock to lock the main bag zip.

I have a large BMW softbag that I haven't used yet. I'm interested to know how you secure your cable to the bag itself. The only "secure" exterior fixing on the bag is the webbing loop inside the cover, on the underside of the bag, that slips over the rack.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think we're both talking about the same area , i.e the underside of the bag. Inside the elasticated flap that locates on the rack there is a webbing loop about 4 inches wide.

yup, think we got it, I will take a photo sometime today and show how it connects, will not stop a determined arsehole their but will stop them for a good while.

use it when I go away for a trip away! no problems so far.

hope the photos are clear enough, one shows the padlock and "chain" around the elasticated section then around the rack.

Thant's great Graham. Very clear. That's the same attachment point I had intended using. As you say, not foolproof for the determined thief but a good deterrent for the opportunist.
