I've only had the bag about a month. I ride about 75 miles a week and have not noticed any wear on my bike from the straps.

This is my second bag, the other is still in the bike I put it on. It's been there for a year and no signs of "rub off".

No, I don't think so. Mine is quite secure, and I see no evidence of wearing.

I would think that if you would apply a narrow strip of mole skin to the strap where it contacts the frame you could possibly minimize the abrasion from the straps. The back of the Velcro strap does seem to be rather abrasive but my frame shows very little wear on the paint.

Hard to say. The straps are of a nylon type material, probably not very abrasive. Depends on what the frame is coated with.

I don't think that it would cause any problem with the frame. The bag is held on with Velcro straps.

It is a general fit, so it will fit your fatbob. If you have a 2 up seat, your are good. If not, you will need to put on some sort of pad so you don't scratch your fender. Awesome friggin bag!!

I don't know what the passenger seat looks like but if it like mine it fits perfect....I have it on a 2013 harley electra glide limited.....it's a great bag.....tons of space and a great backrest on long trips

I would think that paint/metal rub from is a possibility as with any "loose" item on a bike. The Velcro is industrial strength as it takes both hands to remove, so the bag itself is going nowhere once attached. I personally would err on the side of caution and remove the bag for anything other than a short/in-town trip.

It would look odd... The bag is designed to straddle the bike rack... Anything between the rack and the bag would cause the arms of the bag to look more like wings.

Yes, it sits on the passenger seat. I used the bag on a GSXR 600 it slightly creeped onto my seat too. It's quite large.

You bet!!! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/10688126_4890858766030_8226816949852837274_o.jpg Tie wrap legs to the top of the shocks, waist strapped to the back rest (I now have a black and white strap), one hand tie-wrapped to his leg, the other I have a Velcro strap going to my shoulder. No problems...even on the freeway. The looks you'll get are priceless!!

I would not waste your money on this product. I'd strongly suggest an upgrade to the Bones. It works great and we love the secure feeling we have using it. According to Saris fit guide, your vehicle will accommodate the bike rack, check for yourself http://www.saris.com/en/vehicle-racks.html

The rack with weight if contents in the bag would likely shift to the left or right instead of remaining center as mounted regardless how hard you tighten the clamping piece on the seatpost. I can live with it and center the rack after a bumpy ride.

I am not 100% sure that this would work on your bike, I could only access some images on google and it looks like the back portion of your seat is quite wide. I would recommend contacting saddlemen direct via their website and asking them if they have a list of configurations that it will fit. In my case, I have the backreast and supporting rails from the saddlebags to attach the mounting straps too, not sure what and how you would accomplish that in your situation. Best of luck.

I actually ride my bike with this bag slung across my shoulder/back. It, for me, is all about how tight you make the straps. Also... strap goes on opposite shoulder from bag... but I suspect you already know that. Same shoulder? With just about any bag on same side as strap... there is good chance you'll have slippage...

The material behind the seat is like spandex. On my Jeep I had a bunch of material that I bunched and tied to keep it tight. I would say yes.

The 72's frame work seems to be almost or exactly like the 2013 883 like I own and I have put the la Rosa on. Now I do have passenger pegs on my bike as well and if they fit the same place mine do, the bag will basically sit on the left passenger peg. My girl can still put her foot on it but when the bag is full she says she has to position her foot at an odd angle and it does start to "hurt" after a longer ride. Now she has also used the bag itself as the "peg" at some points. So yes it will fit but the passenger might not be too fond of it.

I use both. The strap around the seat tube, and the buckles around the seat rails. If you have a tail light on your seat tube, you can put it on the back of the bag. I think it is a great bag!

Possibly the outer frame will rust, the part that touches your clothes is plastic.
