sackville large mounted on the front?

[Kip Otteson]

Has anybody mounted a Sackville Large on the front of their bike?  I have one on the back mounted on a Nitto Big Rear Rack and I have an R14 on the front with a huge basket on it.  With the big back rack I can't use the BOB trailer.  It interferes with the swingarm.  I was wondering if I mounted the Sackville on the front where I'd put the loops designed for the Brooks' saddle?  I guess I could put them on the bars with an Irish strap or something.  Do I even need to connect those straps or are the four on the bottom of the bag enough? 

Also, do people have experience with the Sackville panniers on an R14?  Is that enough rack to support them?

Thanks.
