Hey Giant Loop Great Basin Owners!

Hey Giant Loop Great Basin owners! I've just got a Great Basin bag for my 610, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to tie the bag to the back of the bike. I currently don't have a rack on the bike to tie in on. Are you tying on to a rack, or are you somehow tying on to the fender? Thanks for the help!

I don't have the great basin, but I do have the mo'javi and the Coyote.

I have them on the fender. I have a single link of chain hose clamped to the frame under the airbox on the right. On the left I have it looped around the frame. but it does push on the shock reservoir a bit so I'm going to move it somehow.

I have the Coyote and have it on the fender as well. What did you do if anything near the silencer? Bag doesn't touch, but is fairly close. I have the Leo Vince, so it doesn't get real hot, but does get warm.

I used a regular hose clamp, but I didn't really like it cuz it was too close. Then I got a fancy hose clamp at West Marine. I get a discount so it was no big deal but I think the damned things are $20 normally. I like it a lot better because it's solid, so it 'blends' better and it has that little arm that I can adjust however I like.



If I were to do it over I really like that muffler slider idea:

This is what I made. I got a piece of aluminium and bent it so that it attaches at the muffler bolts then has a 90' bend then follows the curve of the muffler but has about 3/4" gap between it and the muffler. Worked great on a three week trip. I have the Leo Vince which runs much cooler, don't know how it would work with the stock can.
