A harness for mounting a non-pannier bag to a pannier mount. The harness has an upper frame member having at least one fastener for releasably attaching the upper frame body member to the mount, a lower frame body member disposed distally from the upper frame body member and configured to releasably engage with a lower frame portion of the mount. A connecting member attached between the upper frame body member and the lower frame body member. Two upper straps, each having a fixed end extending outwardly from one of the upper frame body and the connecting member, at least one of the upper straps being adjustable in length. Each of the two upper straps having a connector at a free end configured to releasably connect with one another to form a first loop. At least one lower strap attached at one end to the lower member, each at least one lower strap being adjustable in length and configured to be connectable to one of the upper frame body member and first loop so as to form a second loop. The first loop and the second loop together forming a receiving area for releasably securing the non-pannier bag to the pannier mount.

1. A harness for mounting a non-pannier bag to a pannier mount installed on a vehicle, the pannier mount having an upper support surface oriented substantially parallel to a direction of travel of the vehicle, positioned by a wheel of the vehicle and secured to the vehicle, and a lower frame portion connected to the upper support and downwardly-extending therefrom towards a hub of the wheel, the harness comprising: an upper frame body member having at least one fastener configured to releasably attach the upper frame body member to the upper support surface of the pannier mount;a lower frame body member disposed distally from the upper frame body member and configured to releasably engage with the lower frame portion of the pannier mount;a connecting member attached between the upper frame body member and the lower frame body member;two upper straps, each having a fixed end extending outwardly from one of the upper frame body and the connecting member, at least one of said upper straps being adjustable in length, each of the two upper straps having a connector at a free end configured to releasably connect with one another to form, upon connection, a first loop; andat least one lower strap attached at one end to the lower member, each at least one lower strap being adjustable in length and configured so that a free end of each of the at least one lower strap is connectable to one of the upper frame body member and first loop so as to form a second loop, the first loop and the second loop together forming a receiving area for releasably securing the non-pannier bag to the pannier mount. 2. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the at least one fastener of the upper frame body has a clasp mechanism having a pivoting jaw that releasably connects to the upper support surface of the pannier mount. 3. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the lower frame portion of the pannier mount is triangle shaped with an apex of the triangle proximal to the hub of the wheel, and wherein the lower frame body has an anchor mechanism configured to anchor against inwardly facing sides of the lower frame portion of the pannier mount to prevent outward movement of the non-pannier bag during operation of the vehicle. 4. The harness according to claim 1, wherein in the at least one lower strap comprises two lower straps. 5. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the upper frame body member and the lower frame body member are oriented substantially parallel to one another and the connecting member is oriented substantially perpendicular to each of the upper frame body member and the lower frame body member such that the upper frame body member, the lower frame body member and the connecting member together form an I-shape. 6. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the at least one lower strap has a lower strap connector arranged along its length, the lower strap connector being configured to engage with a free end of the at least one lower strap, wherein the at least one lower strap connector is configured to cooperate with the free end of the at least one lower strap so that the free end of each of the at least one lower strap is weaveable through the first loop and back to engage with the lower strap connector to form the second loop. 7. The harness according to claim 1, further comprising a strap clasp configured to engage with the at least one lower strap, wherein the at least one lower strap is weaveable through the strap clasp to slideably adjust the length of the at least one lower strap, the at least one lower strap cooperating with the strap clasp so that a free end of each of the at least one lower strap is weaveable through the first loop and back through the strap clasp to form the second loop. 8. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the two upper straps each extend outwardly from the connecting member. 9. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the two upper straps each extend outwardly from the upper frame body member. 10. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the connectors at the free ends of the two upper straps are from the group consisting snap-fit connectors, tie connectors, clasp connectors and hook/loop fasteners. 11. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the connectors at the free ends of the two upper straps cooperate to facilitate the adjustability in length of the at least one of the two upper straps that is adjustable in length. 12. The harness according to claim 1, wherein the vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle and the harness is configured to secure the non-pannier bag over the rear wheel of the two-wheel vehicle. 13. The harness according to claim 1, the harness further comprising a top strap, attached to the upper frame body member, to facilitate carrying of the harness. 14. The harness according to claim 13, wherein the top strap is connected to the clasp mechanism. 15. The harness according to claim 10, wherein the connectors at the free ends of the two upper straps are snap-fit connectors, the snap-fit connectors having a male buckle and a female buckle connectable to one another to form the first loop. 16. The harness according to claim 2, wherein the upper frame body member is formed of molded plastic and has a track opened at one or both ends of the upper frame body member for slideably receiving the clasp mechanism. 17. A method of attaching a non-pannier bag to a vehicle using the harness according to claim 2, the method comprising: securing the non-pannier bag to the harness by: laying the harness on a flat surface,placing the non-pannier bag over the upper and lower frame body members,securing the two upper straps across the non-pannier bag to form the first loop and adjusting the two upper straps to impart a snug fit, andsecuring the at least one lower strap to the bag and the two upper straps to form the second loop; andsecuring the harness with the bag secured thereto to the pannier mount by: attaching the upper frame body to the upper support surface using the fastener, andengaging the lower frame body member with the lower frame portion of the pannier mount.
