Mine are looped around the frame and I never remove them.

Yes, ditto for me. With the side covers on they are pretty much out of sight. The primary reason for tying down the rear of the rear of the bike is to keep it from swinging sideways during a hard turn or hard breaking with bumps that would allow the rear of the bike to lift off the trailer and swing. As such, the straps don't need to pull down real hard on the suspension, just keep the bike centered and prevent it from swinging sideways.

Exactly how and why I use them!!!!
