Re: front bag question

i dont know why you would not want to use the plate??? if you used the cup in the top and hit a really big bump and you were riding low you could dislodge the cup and have major problems...
the old saying comes into effect here...if it aint broke...

Re: front bag question

If you use cups on the top and the bottom there would be nothing holding it in place when the pressure is released.
