ROK straps are the schiznet!!

Tom,
what kind of strap is that holding your bead rider?
I have been looking for a decent way to hold mine down.
All I have now is the front elastic strap that came with it.
It also was from a V Star and appears smaller than yours.

Here is another option.
I believe this is what I am going with.

I thought I'd heard those were discontinued or the company was out of business. Have you had contact with them?

No I had not called them until after I just read your post.
The call went to voice mail as Bikers Friend.
I will call Monday.
I believe they are still going strong.

Hi Doug!! "flat6bagger"
I'm sorry I don't know how to do the blue box to specify what I'm responding to. However the attachment for my Beadrider seat is a ROK type attachment that they sell at the Beadrider site.

Enjoy!!

You should see a "Reply with Quote" button under everybody's post; this will let you quote them.

Just noticed at the local mall a tour pack looking bag with wneels for $69 bucks, Wish I had seen it befor I had spent $180.00 on one that said MOTORCYCLE!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I'm intending to fit a mustang tripper seat to my machine and I've currently fitted a Dowco large roll bag to the rear carrier. I'm after some ideas, if anyone is able to help on a reasonably large bag that will sit on the rear of the saddle and attach to the grab rails or passenger backrest.

Cheers Chris

Thanks for the link! I just ordered the XL and I can't wait to get it. This is exactly what I was looking for because I like the size and the low profile. Not sure how easy it will work as a backrest on the B since the passenger seat is so large but I'm willing to try it. I know it will look and function perfect on the large tail rack.

I hope so. I saw pictures of bikes on their website up to 2013 so I have my fingers crossed. Please let us know what you find out when you call.
