The rigging Lisa suggests works on other bags too. I've done that with my Hobo because I figured it was less likely to be casually ripped off the bike if the attachments were out of sight. On my bag, moving the buckles doesn't change the relationship of the bag to the seat but I could easily punch another hole in the strap & tighten it up.
