Does this require a luggage rack, or does it simply secure to the sissy bar?

Sissy bar. But it's a piece of garbage it faded in the sun after 3 weeks and zippers sick and you need a wide sissy bar or it just flops around!

I put my on the passenger pillion and use the Velcro straps to secure to the sissy bar, and the longer straps to wrap down and around the rear turn signals. You will want to tighten it down well, to keep the weight from shifting and then re-tighten at your first stop once the weight settles.You could attach it the same way over a luggage rack or the rear fender if you chose, but could be possibility for scratches or paint rubs without a rack.

I have a luggage rack for mine. It has multiple straps to secure it, but I'd recommend a rack. The packs tall when used together, has the potential for a good bit of weight and could shift if not secured properly.

Yup, just the sissy bar. We love our and it holds a ton!! Enough for 2 people on a weekend trip,

It will secure to a sissy bar as long as it is resting on the seat. I have a small luggage rack on my Night Rod and it rests fine on it.

No, actually it has a wide Velcro strap that wraps around the back rest to secure it to the back rest and sits on the luggage rack.

It has an attachment that comes around the side and you use the nut and bolt that comes with it and have to really, really tighten it. I had to use an adjustable wrench to get it super tight. Once I did get it to a point where it would no longer turn any more, and I actually put all my weight on it and jumped up and down on it, I wanted to make sure it was not going to budge. The cheap stuff I bought before broke so I didn't want it to do the same thing. And this has my husband's clothes on it and it holding about 100-125 lbs just on that middle bar. And has been on it now for a couple of months without any slippage. I absolutely LOVE these racks.

No it does not. some straps are longer, suggest you use the excess to keep the wheels from spinning when you drive. Buying bungee cords would make it super secure. The rack is manufactured to really hold the bike down. you must make sure you follow manufacture use and installation guides. Good luck.

It is held on to your luggage rack or other mount by 4 bolts through the bottom...don't see how it would be taken on and off very easily particularly if you have the lights wired. I haven't taken mine off since I got it for that very reason...just too difficult.

Yes you should have a lock to secure your bikes. If you dont use a locking hitch pin than anyone with vise grip pliers or some crescent wrenches can remove the rack (and your bikes if on the rack.)

You do need a place on top of the vehicle where you can attach the hooks of the tent. I don't have a full luggage rack, but do have roof bars that worked fine to hold the hooks in place. Without those bars it may be challenge finding a place for the hooks to hold.

If you have some other piece to support the bottom it will. It is like a traditional pet carrier you might carry on to an airplane. You'll need something else other than just the sissy bar sticking up to attach to. If you have other bags to set it on top of, then secured it on to the sissy bar, it would be great.

yes it will attach to the sissy bar with it resting on the passenger seat. If you put it behind the sissy bar I recommend you get a Fender guard or luggage rack

Short answer, no. The Driver backrest and this are two different animals. Your driver backrest attaches below the seat. The Sissy bar/luggage rack rely on the bolts that attach the chrome strip along the side of the bike (just below the seat). They attach by changing out the hardware that attaches that trim piece.

It has the backrest strap to put on the sissy bar and it also has two straps under the bag. You can use these under straps to clip on the solo rack but I believe it will be moving around too much without the backrest to keep it in place. It does have rings on the bottom though so you can try to use those. I have the backrest so I feel it is really seure. Overall great bag.Hope this helps.

Givi doesn't make a specific rack for your 883, but they make a universal rack which is designed to fit onto stock luggage racks. I took a look at the picture of the luggage rack you mention above and I think the Givi Universal (E251) would work if the sissybar can be removed. If you have questions or would like to get the E251 give me a call at 866-761-0936.Thanks,Glen

The bag attaches to your sissy bar with wide velcro straps and they will have plenty of length to go around your sissy bar. there are also 2 security buckles attached somewhere on your bike and they buckle to the bag and are included with purchase.

yes it would, i have the top round one attached on the backside of my sissy bar, then when needed i attach the bottom piece on the front of the sissy bar on the passenger side!

The bar itself has a locking mechanism but the bike mounts do not. Although, you can order locking bike mounts separately that should work with this rack.

Rack is bolted to seat post. Pack has quick release and should be removed for secure storage or open area parking.
