I haven't done the setup yet, but one configuration on my list of things to try is running my Saddlesack Large on the Nitto Platrack. The two little leather straps that normally go through the Brooks saddle loops will be hanging there with nothing to grab onto. For loopless saddles, there's the Nitto Saddlebag Grip <http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/r13.htm> but for up front, you'd need something else. I bought a couple of these Nitto accessory mounts <https://www.benscycle.com/p-1565-nitto-lamp-holder-1-260mm.aspx?> to do the job. Clamp one (or two) of these to a sacrificial length of handlebar and I should be good to go. I admit I bought them when they were closer to $30 each and Ben's had a 20% coupon. $43 apiece is kind of steep for experimentation.
