    Thanks for the post...

    Question:
    When you attached to the right side did you have to remove the cover or just screwed it in? I'm not sure how to mess with those side panels, which seems like Honda could have made them better for us to customize... I might be able to use something like that... maybe on both sides of sorts...

    It's easy to remove. My suggestion is to search YouTube for or "F6B Coolant Change" or "F6B Air Filter Change." You'll get MORE information than you need now but, for future reference, it's also good to see how the entire shelter comes off.

    Basically you remove the entire outer plastic strip by pulling on the bottom side of the plate under the panel with the glove compartment lock. The "plate" where the Hopnel EZ-Clip will be mounted.

    Pull out and up all the way up the strip being careful of the tab at the top of the strip.

    I marked my holes, drilled, and mounted. Be conscious of the space behind the panel for the bolts. I used flat head screws and did a little counter sink on the back side of the holes so the heads where flush as possible and the threads stick outside with the nuts on the outside.

I called 3M and there command strips are not to be used on paint.. (those easy remove clips for hanging pics on the walls) so not sure...

    I don't' know how to take apart all that plastic to add something like a strap. I was thinking about some thing to stick to 'tank' and have it clip/attach to the sides of the bag.

    Oh well....

    Please let me know what you are thinking.

    What about the magnetic one instead of mounted straps. I have been using this one https://www.vikingbags.com/vikingbag...cycle-tank-bag and it's pretty stick while riding on high speed.I'm using it from six month without damaging the tank paint.

    A magnet won't work on plastic.
