@withered_preacher Step in if you wish to illuminate but I've been doing it for ages.
Attach strap at back of bag downwards to some part of the rack or rack-stays that pulls the bag taught downwards. Then if heavily loaded or large bag, to prevent it sort of twisting around, either loop the staps at the front of the bag around the rack top, or use a bungee looped around the saddle-straps, down the front of the bag to the rack top.
It's the most secure way I've ever found to use a saddlebag. My experiences with bagman things is that the bolts shake themselves loose too easily (I know, loctite) and the bolts round out if you keep adding torque (again, loctite).
