The pictures really say it all...the bottom bag was filled with large cushions to stuff it as much as possible. The top bag was filled with tools, camping stove and cookware, and a bunch of other heavy stuff.
75 miles at 80mph on the interstate with no issues other than the cushions compressing a bit, which made the top bag lean a little, but was never close to coming off or loose.
The red fuel can is a 3-gallon RotoPax fuel can. Empty at the time.
Though I crossed the two straps in the back, I think next time I would run them straight down.
The orange straps are just cinch straps from HF and attached around the handrail of the bike and the bottom loop of the Sport3 bag straps.
I used the base plate from Maple's fuel cell setup, along with some custom parts to extend the stock luggage rack and add the backrest that holds the fuel can and water jug (the line for the jug wasn't attached for this test).
