I've looked at the options for back mounting a pony bottle and I'm not thrilled with them.
My Current BP / W has a piece of C channel that the main tank straps onto, and of course no accommodation for a pony. Most of the pony systems I have seen either strap onto the main tank, or else attack to the main tank straps. I have yet to see a system where each tank is held independently with it's own straps and they can be easily removed and replaced without affecting the other tank. Some attempt and balancing them side to side would also be nice (i.e. main slightly off to one side and pony further to the other side).
Is anyone aware of a mounting system that allows main and pony to be removed without touching the other one? Maybe a piece of tee profile material mounted to the back plate with a set of straps on each side, or perhaps a W shaped plate that holds the tanks in the correct separation?
