As mine seem to foul on the indicators, i have a tail tidy with the standard indicators fitted

Straps went 2 over, 1 under the pillion seat IIRC - although that could be the other way round. Not got a normal tail tidy so can't comment on those.

I think I do 2 under 1 over, but either must work.

I have the exact same set-up. Oxford Humpback panniers, Hamicad TT and std indy's. The panniers bend the indy's down to the rear plate, but they're fine once removed. I considered smaller indy's on the rear, but figured the panniers are on there so infrequently that I could live with it.

I put the two top straps over the seat and the one lower strap all the way under the rear, i.e. under the undertray. There's 3-4" overlap if on tight. Seems to work for me.

Try having the front top strap looser and the rear top strap tighter to kindof lift the rear of the bags (or drop the front) - means less weight on the indy's.

Panniers are a no no its a bit to much of a squeeze for the other half with them fitted. Back to original plan of ventura or givi set up i think
