I got a Carradry saddle bag for my birthday but when fitted to the saddle it sits a long way forward and under the saddle so it rubs constantly on my thighs, so looking for a bagman support. there is an expedition one on eBay- is this suitable?

I can't remember which one I bought in the end, but a word of warning: the flap on the underside of the bag is not so strong. The seams on mine tore on both sides after a year or so of everyday use. You'll also want to find a way of fixing the bottom of the bag to the rack to stop it bouncing around. I used a small length of bungee cord and a hook.
