GCAG Side Bag Hauler Kit

Four heavy duty Cam Buckle Tension Loops and four 4-foot runner loops, which is two sets of Mondo Straps. One kit carries two side bags. Dry bags aren't included; we recommend Explorer and Watershed dry bags.

No. It works with or without the GCAG Uprising Soft Rack Kit. When you mount bags on a soft rack's side straps, we usually prefer GCAG Bag Snake Kits. When you strap bags on top of panniers or to a metal rack, the Side Bag Hauler Kit is the usual pick. Both work; it comes down to preference.

Yes. With the Side Bag Hauler Kit you can rig bags horizontally or vertically. Strap each bag in tightly and double-check your exhaust clearance. If the bag sits near the muffler, add a Chilly Exhaust Heat Shield.

It depends on your bike. Side bag weight can push the side plastics into the muffler, and a bag that touches the muffler can melt. The Chilly Exhaust Heat Shield prevents this. It keeps your bags off the muffler and acts as a standoff that holds the side plastics away. If your bike already has a built-in heat shield, or you don't carry side bags, you may not need one. If you do need a heat shield, we highly recommend the Chilly Exhaust Heat Shield.

Yes. GCAG's system is built around any bag on any bike: strap kits such as the Mondo Straps Kit and GCAG Bag Snake Kit secure dry bags, duffels or other soft bags to a GCAG soft rack or directly to mount points on the bike. Strap kits don't include bags; GCAG recommends dry bags such as the Explorer Dry Bag.
