All these days, I used to use bungee cords to fasten the bag on the rear seat.
The probs I faced during our last Bun Burner attempt coz of the bungee cords.
1) I earlier had a bigger bungee cord which was easier to attach and remove but it got lost due to a fellow member in some ride. Since then I wasn't able to find that big bungee cord and hence was using a small sized cord. It used to pose a lot of porblems and I was forced to carry less luggage as the cord would not fit otherwise.
2) One has to use a lot of power to attach those cords.
3) The metal hooks at the end of the cord has fcuked the shit out of my moto mesh
4) It's also risky in a way. If while attaching the cord by mistake you lose it, it may snap back and seriously injure you. I just missed my hand getting injured once.
5) During bun burner ride, we were racing against time and it used to frustrating to untie the entire cord to get something out of the bag and then of course tie it back before leaving.
All these things made me search on the internet for an option that's easier and safer. I found a lot of tail bags on the internet but none was available in India. So I got hold of the pics of various designs and angles and decided to make one for me. And here it is, the bag is ready There are still a few more finishing touches to be done to the bag but that'll be after my big ride. 
Benefits of using the Tail-bag:
1) It's much easier to tie and untie this bag.
2) It looks good and hold more luggage than the normal bag.
3) I was strongly considering the cramster tank bag but with a bike like R15 where the posture is very very imp for high speeds and one has to crouch completely to get past 130-135 kmph, tank bags isn't the option. You can't crouch much with the tank bag. Hence tail bag is particularly good for R15. Also it saves the tank from being scratched
Right now we've made only black color bag but we are planning for different colors later on
Thanks for the appreciation though
