Flat Kit Bag Suggestions

Hi! I just got a new QX100 this weekend and I am still getting used to everything, but so far I love it. I was hoping I could get some suggestions on flat kit bags and where to mount them. I did some research earlier today but all I found were bigger bag solutions like the radical design bags.

What do you all recommend and where do you recommend that I attach the bags?

Any pictures would be great!!

Thanks!!

I use both my Q and QX100 for commuting to work as well as "pleasure" riding. For commuting I carry a set of paniers on a rack, and on pleasure rides I use a trunk bag. My current rack setup as well as other setups can be seen in forum thread Q-Pannier rack needed for Quest. But I am changing over to use the Q Touring and Commuting Rack because I notice a difference in aero drag between my low rack with panniers which ride low and seem to be like a parachute slowing me down but when I use my trunk bag which rides on top of the rack up higher behind the seat the parachute is gone.:)

I like the Radical Design bags. I've been using and abusing them nearly every day for about eight years and thousands of miles. They're replaced Ortlieb panniers as my bag of choice. They range is size from small to huge -- 10 liters to 75 liters -- and attach in several places and in numerous ways so you can combine bags to suit your needs -- small bag for a day trip, huge bag for month-long trip. They're durable, lightweight, cleverly designed, easy to attach and remove and they come in fun colors.
