I have just got hold of some of these http://www.linkstrap.co.uk/ and they are fantastic, a viable alternative to bungees and straps

i wouldn't trust them after i've had them a while the velcro would lose its grip if it's like normal stuff

they are brilliant kit - not your usual cheap chinese tat sold at 10 times the price by a dodgy uk importer.

this stuff is the real deal - and won't break or wear out - used a lot out here in the bush by big dirt bikes

a much better alternative than hard boxes - i think ted simon used the exped panniers on his second rtw

Sue (Gracie on here) has a set for her Yamaha 250 TTR for our overland trip to India next month. Bought direct from Australia, no hassles, excellent kit.

Top quality straps, been using some for about 3 years and show no signs of wear etc, highly recommemded

from those comments it looks as though they are pretty good

Yes the UK site is www.andystrapz.co.uk, but when i emailed them a day or so ago i was directed to purchase direct from Aus!!

I suppose it wil take a while and that i will then have to pay the import duties and tax on top of the cost of the straps.

How long does it take to get things from Aus nowadays? I can get stuff from America and Hong Kong pretty quick really?

good straps ... I use them as a back up to bungees and nets

 

[the civil one]

I made some Waxed Canvass Bags , They are Good , But the
Exhaust has the Capacity to render them useless.

They dont suit the 1200 , But the R100/80GS works well..

Wanna Buy em ?

I have a set of Piggyback Strapz, not sure which size as I don't think there was a choice when I bought them. Had them some years now. I mainly use them to strap a large waterproof bag to my bike. The outer strap is useful for attaching items for drying.

I have been considering the adjustable motorcycle straps http://www.rokstraps.com/ as they look easier to use (there are uk suppliers including touratech).

Cheers

I think they are great,never had any trouble with them.
I have had mine for three years and used them to keep a large bag across rear seat and can quickly attach other smaller items on top with the extra straps.
A great idea.

If you do get them from Costco, they are much cheaper!
