Do you need the across bars for this bag to work or sidebars are enough?

I just have side bars on mine. They don't even allow you to pass through to hook the tie downs. So I just put ratchet straps across it one in front and one in back. Made 300 mile trip to Myrtle Beach and never came loose that's at speeds of 70 mph. On the way back it was horrible rain and wind almost the entire trip back home and everything was dry. Would really recommend this product.

Same as the others. You need to install on the cross bars not the side rails.

Only if the space between the crossbars is small and the sherpak doesn't fit between them. Otherwise it's actually better to have them since you secure it to them. My guess is that it will fit fine in the square created by all 4 "bars".

This bag is a "universal fit". It is fairly small so it may go on the seat behind you ok. You need to have four places to attach the straps, loop around a bar or handle of some kind. Look at the photo closely then look at your bike.

Yes, you will need cross bars running from the passenger to driver side in order to secure the storage bag. However if the factory rails running along each side from front to back have openings, you may be able to turn the bag sideways and run the mounting straps through the rail openings.

Side by side? Likely just one. I have a 24 inch and it doesn't leave much room for much else width - wise.

I have side rails only (front to back) without cross bars and it worked perfectly without the cross bars.Just make sure you attach the straps to the posts that connect the side rails to the car so the straps and bag don't slide. It didn't budge an inch on my Pilot all the way from Ohio to Florida and back.

Yes, I woul recommend having the proper brackets in place. These are a thow-type saddlebag, so they may move a little.

I do not have a horizontal bar either. the side straps attach to the verical bars on top. the large stap wraps around the backpack and the door. Hope this helps -- We traveled 900 miles, some in blinding rain with no problems.

Yes. The sports rack can fit adjustable cross bars or permanently mounted crossbars. A great product, holds a ton of stuff.

Some rooftop accessories need to be secured to crossbars - you'll want to check with the manufacturer if they're required. I have a soft-side rooftop carrier that I attach to both the main rails and the crossbars. It would probably work without the crossbars, but I would use an additional tie-down strap or two to compensate.

I have side luggage racks so I am not positive if it will cause an issue with no racks.

Nope, it should have everything you need. I have the oval shaped factory crossbars on my jeep grand Cherokee and I didn't need anything extra. You should be good with oval or round crossbars.

Yes, you need to sleep on one side or the other because of the bar. It works ok for me since the other side is for cloths bag, shoes etc.

Yes there should be enough room. There might be some overlap on the ends but I think it will work :)

should be sufficient. But I like to be on safe side, so used 2 additional straps, running North/South in addition to East/West. This, of course, was using a roof rack.

You might want too, but I do not think it is necessary. The goal is to get the pack as close to the car as possible as there are not support under the pack just the roof of your car. The pack ties down to your rack...the crossbars may get in the way of your luggage...depends how much you are planning to pack. :)
