Bought [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RN04VU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]this[/ame] bag off of Amazon not expecting a whole lot. I gotta say, I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality for the low dollar investment. The zippers don't feal cheap, the material used is nice and thick, and there is some padding at the front so if it's full, it won't hurt your back pressing against it. As a pure grocery, and quick storage hold, it's enough for me as I didn't want to spend a small fortune.
It includes several straps for attachment. It comes with one long strap with male connector's at both ends (females on the bag) two medium straps, and two short straps. I used the one long strap on the front going under the seat. The bag rests perfectly on the top of the hump going to the rear pillion and the strap goes under this notch in the seat on our bikes creating a nice fit that does not interfere with the seat latch mechanism. The shortest straps are actually just long enough to wrap through the grab handle holes going through the back to the front and looping back again through the back and attaching to the rear attachments on the bag. There is still a bit of excess strap even using the short straps and wrapping through the grab handle holes but it can be tucked in for a nice, and clean looking installation. The straps have a soft rubber threading embedded in them so they shouldn't scratch the paint.
Here's some pictures. The bag also has some nice, reflective piping as well. The only word of warning, don't try to swing your leg over getting on/off the bike. I did this forgetting the bag was installed and pulled my groin something fierce. My wife is probably happy with the groin pull if you know what I mean LOL.
