The G650X series bikes are superb machines but sadly lacking are bungee/strap forward mounting points if you want to strap a bag/tent etc on to the pillion seat :blast

I acquired a couple of straps with ready sewn in loop ends. I had a couple spare from the mounting kit supplied with the BMW rear bag, but some of the new BMW's have straps like this when supplied new in their crates ....

I cut the straps 'to length' and punched a hole ... then sealed the end of the strap where I had cut and punched the hole, so it wouldn't fray ;)

Then, as per the photo's, fastened the straps under the top mounting of the frame and secured them under the mountings for the fuel tank :thumb

Instant mounting point now installed. When not in use they will fold back under the seat and be hidden ... clever eh

Bungee hooks or straps can be put through the loops for secure mounting of whatever ;)

You can leave 'em short and leave 'em out, but the bungee hooks/straps will then pull on the seat upholstery :nenau

A little longer and they can be tucked away when not in use and the bungee hooks don't then touch the seat :thumb


Used them a few times, super strong and secure ... work great :thumb
