Re: Cowchippers - Front bag options

I have used a R&K handlebar mount bolted onto a alpkit Joey with a piece of plastic for support with a 13l roll bag.
If you look on FB bike and bivi page Craig bevan has raised the subject and I have posted some pictures

Re: Bar roll bracket ( instead of a harness)

to me the R&K is the way to go so the bars are free I am just interested in the way you did it?
