A short bungee diagonally between duffell d-rings. The rings themselves should go under your wide brackets on top of your tragkorb. I'd do the inside ones first, put the d-rings through the tragkorb rings. then attach the bungees to those. cross the bungees and commence tucking the outside d-rings under the tragkorb rings and attaching the bungees.

Thanks, all.

I cut off the lower D-rings and connected the bag's fabric loops to the lid brackets with heavy duty zip ties. All "play" needed to be removed from the connection in order for this to work. It's not ideal but it's solid. When the bags are empty they can be folded up and strapped into a small bundle on the lid. The weak link now is the fabric loops on the bags. I'll keep an eye on those.

Have you considered that you are overly fixated on mounting the bags "TO" the case lids?

How about turning them sideways with d-rings facing in.

Then use the d-rings and the straps that Johnny reccomended to mount them to the tail section.like soft saddlebags.

The bags will just be resting on top of your side cases. To make it a bit more secure, some industrial velcro between the bags and cases.

Would that work for you?

Unfortunately not. Attaching the bags to the lids means I can open the side cases without removing the soft bags.

?? Trying to mentally picture what the difference is between my idea and what you have been doing as to how the lid opens.??

Ahh, "Do your lids lift off instead of hinges?".

Ok, "How about a Hybrid of my idea?

With bags sideways as I previously suggested, attach what are (now) the lower d-rings to inside handles of the lid and connect each bags (now) upper d-rings to each other via strap across/under the seat.

Does this seem like it might work?

Sorry, missed the part where you have already cut off the D-rings.

Without that restriction you should be able to fabricate a straight forward attachment for the bag.
