I dont have the factory bag on my X1...BUT....

I went through the mess at the neck...where the 4 frame rails come together... and for the rear(if the faxcorybag has a rear mount), I went through where the tank/seat mounts.

I dont know if that helps or not...but,....

wES i DONT HAVE THE FACTORY BAGS,
IF THIS HELPS, FRONT STRAP, DOWN ACROSS FRONT OF TANK, UNDER AND BEHIND THE STEERING HEAD, UP ACROSS THE TANK,

oops , No chafing issues front, rear I routed the strap through the frame near the tank seat junction (Like Chase)

(sorry about the caps not yelling)

the rest of the story I used a back pack and cut off the back straps, sewed webbing to the pack, the buckles are available in a fabric store, 30$ pack 15$ materials

if you want them I will send pix
