buy and sell » Wanted- short straps for BMW 30L Soft Tailbag

The 30L tailbag, comes with three sets of straps to attach it to the motorcycle frame. I lost the shortest pair of these by being careless when packing so if any one has these, I'm interested. 120459100.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) They have a loop at one end and a snap buckle (male) at the other. Thanks gc141x

The bag comes with 4 short, 4 medium and 4 long straps.
It only needs 2 short straps if you have the rear rack.
Did you lose all 4 short straps?

You can use 2 medium straps, cut off the excess and melt the ends.

Hmm I could have sworn that I only had 2 short straps but I can't check if I have two more because I'm on the road. I have the rear rack and I certainly have at least two medium and two long straps back home. I should have thought about cutting the longer ones- my brain had wandered in the direction of wrapping them around the frame till they became short and that was aesthetically dissatisfying. Thanks Lee.

Thanks Paul. I think these will be useful. Best...gc141x

Google "ROK straps". Exactly as you describe. Available in various lengths. Invaluable for strapping things like dry-bags to the pillion seat.

Cheers

Yep BMW uses flared buckles that don't seem to be found elsewhere.

*Added on July 1, 2018*: Ignore statement above. I am wrong about the flared buckle- it's just that the ROK clips don't fit the OEM tailbag as Lee pointed out.
