...................--- Front Pack for Rack ---

The rear pack had proved very useful and the rear seat hadn't, so now without the seat there was wasted space on the rear bike rack. So let's make another pack for that space. With it I'd have room for extra clothing and rain gear if needed.

This pack would me more large storage space and of a simpliar design vs. the first one.

I again turned to Common Sense Fasteners to ...

…. help secure the pack to the bike using the same male fastener parts that held the rear pilliar set on.

They make it quick and easy to put the pack on or off.

I also added some pockets for bungee cords to go through for added security for both packs. Not all are seen in these pictures.

Above is the main zipper section for the top of this pack along with pieces for ...

…. a small compartment on the very top of this pack.

These smaller compartments make it handy to keep items separated and easier to find although I must say there are now a lot of compartments and sometimes I can't remember which I used for which item.

The two finished packs on the bike. I leave both on almost all the time with items I want with me on the trail riding alone. They do come in handy also in town running to the hardware store and other places.

On the trail I don't really realize they are there. They have added some weight up higher but the bike handles well and 80%-90% of my riding is off-road. For the pictures I stuffed the packs full and usually that isn't the case with the front one. I carries clothing to match the current weather conditions and the rest of the time is at least half empty or full, whichever you prefer ;-).
