The bolt-on method is still in development, so the final product may differ slightly from the photos. Currently, there are three attachment methods:
Direct Punching – Holes are punched directly into the bag. This method is simple, nearly invisible, and has no metal parts to break.
Fabric Patch Reinforcement – A durable fabric patch is sewn onto the bag before punching holes. This adds extra durability but creates a visible black patch around the perimeter.
Metal Oblong Grommets – These provide a clean look but require more work and have the potential to break over time.
If you have a preference, please let me know. Otherwise, I’ll experiment to find the best solution. Thanks for your understanding!

The horizontal zippered divider option adds a second zipper, splitting the main compartment into two halves. This design reduces side bulge while offering enhanced organization.
Inside, a collapsible Velcro divider is positioned just above the zipper, allowing for flexible storage.

The zippered side pocket option adds a full-length pocket on the non-driveside of the bike. This flat pocket is perfect for quick-access items like a phone, wallet, electronics, or extra snacks. It also features a passthrough to the main compartment for convenient cable routing.
