Has anyone else out there bought what Honda call either the tail pack or rear seat pannier (the bag that straps to the passenger seat).

I bought one a few weeks ago and have still not used it yet for the main reason that I have been unable to fit it to the seat.

The bag comes with a shoulder strap but no straps for strapping to the seat? This seems to be because it is for more than just one model.

I did order a set of straps from my local dealer, but what he gave me were for the CBR600 which has strap loops already fitted under the seat.

I just want to know what the real straps look like and how they fit the passenger seat. I can't see much space for the straps where the seat meets the fairings though!

Could you just pop the pillion seat off the bike, strap the seat to the bottom of the pannier with the excess straps hidden under the seat, and reattach the seat? As long as the straps fit tight to the seat between the two plastic hooks at the front and the metal latching loop at the back of the seat you should be good to go.

Good lick getting it to fit!

The straps seem to be two-piece type, one strap goes over the seat and one under from what I have gathered. My dealer is yet to supply me with the right straps.
The CBR600 seems to have some straps already riveted to the underside of the pillion seat. The CBR250R does not gave these (at least not mine).

The problem is the space between the seat and the outside fairings. There is not much space for the strap buckles.

I got the Cortech Sport Tailbag, it seems to work well. one strap is hooked into the top of the passenger peg bracket, the other to the grab handle

I got the Chase Harper Hide-Away Tail bag. It folds into itself and can actually fit under the passenger seat - as long as nothing else is in there (the tool-kit with allen wrench and helmet holder can stay).

I'm waiting for this to show up in the US as I really don't want a bag that drags straps over the bodywork, etc.

Doing some digging I've found two part numbers so far:
08L56-KYJ-800A in Aus - TAIL PACK SET - Merchandise and Accessories Catalogue

Pic shows that one tied to the seat only.

Those pics make it appear the straps are on the bodywork.
