I'll check it in a bit.
@those of you that are about to receive your saddlebags....
Regarding fitting...
The way I prefer to fit the holster is by threading the saddle attachment buckles through the saddle rails and clip to the side wing half of the buckle with the straps loose...then wrap the seatpost collar nice and tight and velcro in place....then pack the drybag when it's not in the holster, and roll and clip the end...then push it into the holster and pull the end strap over the end of the drybag and pull it nice and tight so it pulls the drybag down into the nose of the holster.
Then i pull the side straps as tight as i can get them so it pulls the holster right up against the saddle.
Then i pull the end strap as tight as It can go and just recheck the side straps again and pull tighter if possible.
The tighter everything is, the less it'll move.
I also try and make sure the 'tail' of the holster isn't caught on the rolled end of the drybag and just manipulate it a bit if necessary...partly just because it looks neater. :]
Once you use it a few times the adjustment becomes second nature really.
Tight is right! :]
