May I upload these to the unofficial manual? Thanks.

As far as I am concerned (not being the copyright holder) : absolutely.
Your work is invaluable.

Okay, I added the text and your photo, and paraphrased the installation instructions.

Can you elaborate or take a picture on how these fasten to the bike? In the picture above it looks like they just drape over the seat? Sounds very unsafe to me?

An alternative design is the *Giant* Loop series of bags, they attach to the passenger footpegs and will not droop into the wheel area.

I went with the GIVI Easy range EA101B small bags with 2 times 15 liter capacity. Got them 2nd hand for a song and had only been ridden with once, so practically new.

Made some adjustments and added custom made quick lock straps (15mm wide straps with small mammut clips https://www.ski-outdoor-shop.de/en/products/mammut-dual-adjust-side-squeeze-buckle?sPartner=goe&number=565-2540-00150-0001-1015&gclid=CjwKCAjwqdn1BRBREiwAEbZcR0pZJWo8TtrxSfzW1GJMD6tv3GhT8x-rPqddF7YfyRCYK70Ag5u_mRoCSa4QAvD_BwE) that hook to the pillion peg guards and behind the taillight. 1 front velcro strap under the seat and 1 rear above the seat, and 1 quick lock strap under the tail. I shortened the velcro straps the bags came with as these where waaaay to long.

Getting them on and off is a 5 min deal as long as you know what your are doing and know the optimal order of things to fasten :)

Just back from a shakedown trip with fully loaded bags. All seems fine. Quite happy with the result for a morning at the sewing machine :)
