I lost two backpacks I had hanging behind the seats when I installed the Tusk rear window panel. So I'm trying a new bag in the front. It's an ATV fender bag with two pockets. Each pocket has adjustable velcro straps. I think this will be a decent solution.

I have one of those for my trailer. :) I definitely need to find a smaller one for the 500.

I slid a piece of flat bar stock behind each headrest and attached my bag like yours to that.. worked well!
Oh...
I attached it by placing a piece of rubber behind each end and wedging it in.. I then placed two 70lbs cup magnets on each end so it wouldn't scoot or vibrate out.

I've never really used those nets until last October. I was surprised how well it worked.

Just make sure you get one with hooks that can be removed and placed in different locations so you can keep the net tight.
Removable hooks is a must or you'll never get it untangled!

I have a super strong magnet out of an industrial tool motor. It's a little dangerous if you're not ready for it. Is that what those 70 lb. cup magnets are like?

You could say that.. I made a mistake of playing with them to see how attracted they were to one another. I thought I was going to have to cut that wedge of finger off!! It literally jumped 8 inches out of my hand and firmly bit my finger!

Then those should work just fine! I sometimes use mine to pick up nails or screws when I can't find them on the floor.

I hung the same bags on my doors too, but with paracord. Also hung a saddlebag between the seats. Both work well.

Just an FYI, I stole the net/hammock bag out of my wife's Milan, the one that stretches across the width of the trunk to put items in to prevent them from rolling around in the trunk, it stretches around the back of the cage pretty much perfectly and lets me throw stuff in it while driving if needed (Empty's or whatever.) A few carabiners and its on. Check local junk yards...

Update: Still using the ATV fender bag in the middle of the seat. It's perfect. I also added a cooler which works like a console/armrest. I'll get some pics of the whole seat setup when I'm back home.
