Just get some big zip ties and cut them off when you want to remove the bladder

What’s the standard range, without the thing? Chances are, your bladder will give out (more than once) before the bladder on the back kicks in.
That’s not the point . Going with a mate who has 250 mile range and want similar to fill up at same time .
Are you riding to Afghanistan?
Surely if you have to stop to empty the bladder then in Euroland, you are never a million miles away from from PFS.
In MRA you can plan fuel stops based on your range. I know it does involves “faffing”….

- Why lug extra fuel high up? (Pendulum)
- You’ll be holding up your biker mates regardless, whether you fill up from the bladder or a pump.
- You will be holding them up twice as long filling up the bike and the bladder again some distance later.
- It seem that you are creating a problem that does not need creating.
- You creating yourself a faffing situation, that will soon get very old.
- Not least that you have created yourself a problem in finding shorter straps

A fuel bag is bollox in Europe. They are quite slow to fill and you have to be careful emptying them - inserting the nozzle in the bag without fuel going everywhere etc. If your mates can't put up with you stopping 50 miles before they have to then maybe they need to relax a bit.
You've obviously never been to the picos with a mate on an m1000r then,or a vfr1200
Mate is actually quite a chilled out bloke.

In the Picos 200 miles would take quite some time to ride anyway, unless you ride like an arse.
The thing about the fuel bag is you'd spend extra time filling it, strapping it on, then after 100kms or so unstrapping it, fitting the nozzle, slowly and carefully filling the tank, then re fitting it to the topbox before riding on. Time saved? Nil.
Er the bmw m1000r can empty the tank in less than 100 miles....

I used a fuel bladder once on a dirt bike
It was a complete PITA and never used it again
Thanks for all the useful replies about straps.
Should be sorted now .

You are welcome and well done.
What was the solution then? Could you please share it for the fellow biker mates, who might find them self in same predicament.
