I have used various sizes of the Ortlieb version (between 30 & 80 litre) for years with Rokstraps - works a treat

I took a similar size bag to Scotland , I had a 3 berth tent , sleeping bag , roll mat in the bag , I strapped it to a rentec rack , I also had throw over panniers with my clothes in , the bike handled fine .

Me too. I've got a LOMO big boating bag in bright yellow. Much cheaper than motorcycle brands. Take it camping strapped across pillion seat and /or rack. The tightening straps plus folding the opening the right way makes it very watertight

Your bag looks quite big. I strap a 60 litre kit bag to my bike using the luggage straps of the type mentioned in the thread. I put a piece of plywood in the bottom of the bag so its a stable platform and doesn't distort in shape when I strap it down. My Fazer8 has grab rails which the bag sits on which helps a lot. I put a bungee on the back of the bag to the rear mudguard to stop it sliding forward. I have to have a goosestep style action over the seat to get on as the bags too bike to swing a leg over.

Old photo.
So glad I put a decent looking end can on the bike, that's hideous.
