Bikini frame and bags

[JeremiahH]

Picked up a 26" bikini frame and Tahr.
Saw a video from Kifaru that said the Tahr was good for 22, 24 , and 26.

Cant really see a good way to attach the bottom of bag to the frame.

I thought their bags and frames were plug n play , interchangeable from things I've read and watched.

Seems like there is a fair amount missing to get this bag put on and secured properly though.

On another note, I purchased a SO horizon stay to velcro in between to help with barreling. Seems like a economical improvement for now.

There should be three slots on the back of the bag, run the load lifter out the top slot and not the middle.

I would take the 3 bar slider out of that triangle common loop and hook it on the tab that has the female buckle, on the older frames the triangle common loop was intended for a grab it.
How is the bottom of the bag attached to the frame? I do not have a tahr but have used multiple Kifaru bags on different Kifaru frames. But it should be similar.

Thanks, this is a first Kifaru for me.
I've been using Exo and seek outside. Just wanting to play around with some used gear.

I didn't know these side SR buckles could be removed! So that makes sense now. I'll make these couple changes and play around with the bottom in the morning.

The 3 bar sliders on the bottom of this bag do not reach the plastic common loops on the frame like other bag videos show.

I do not have that bag or frame but whenever the metal 3-bar slider doesn't reach the common loop I use double sided Velcro 1" wide to make any length connection needed between them.

Made some changes like mentioned.
For now I have the bottom attached like this. Using the lower compression straps.
Works for compressing and closing off the bottom too.
I got some 3 bar sliders and 1 inch webbing off Amazon and ordered some 1 inch gatekeepers from Marsupial gear. I think they are one inch anyways.

Side note:

Also not sure what's going on with Tapatalk.
Every photo I've uploaded lately ends up getting turned 90 degrees.

That should work just fine how it’s attached now. Same way I have attached the bottom of the packs to the frame.

Still playing around with this little project.
Some progress of a little clean up.
Used a couple tri glides to make use of the top two diagonal Tahr straps for a handle.
Not sure what they are for but this works for now as a handle / repair gear storage.
Cut off a couple females off top of bag I'm not going to use for now.

Those straps are used to attach some of the older lids to.

Where did you source the SO horizon stay from?

Thank you.

 

[stealthgoat]

the SO Horizon Cross Stay is new concept to me, very interesting idea !

 

[JeremiahH]

It definitely is a nice plug n play option.
It's wider than it should but not a problem. The picture I have is about as low as you can go with it on a bikini unfortunately and still have velcro to work with.
