Glad to help, Patrick. I see the newer happisacks have a fabric bottom and a daisy chain for tie-down points. I must say, I'm pleased to have a couple of older saddlesacks with the leather scuff plate, holes for tie-down points, and the D-rings. I guess economics dictates what Riv can offer at a palatable price, but it's good to know that even the newer models have ways to solve the sway.
