johnb If the swaying is the most objectionable problem, look into stabilizing the bag with some shock cord to an attachment point lower and to the rear. A D-ring on the bag and a small hook at one of the drop-out eyelets (they're made for panniers) provide the attachments. Cord tied to the D-ring with a hook at the end, similar to a bungee hook, and voila, stability restored. May need some fiddling with the length of the cord to get the optimal amount of tension. Cheap experiment to try before changing bags or going the rack route.
