I've got a mk1 Restrap bar bag, and it's not great. However, I am loathed to get rid as it was a gift and I've already modded it over the years to suit.
The primary issue I have is that the straps that connect it to the bars always work loose, this is a constant niggle and I'm forever pulling them tight during trips.
Am I mad if I drill 4 holes to match the stem bolt pattern and then mount it direct using some longer M5 bolts/washers and sleeves to space it off a touch? Thus making the straps fairly redundant. It's either that or get some mini Voile straps. I like the idea of the direct mount as itll raise the bag up too, but have concerns over safety.
Any thoughts appreciated.
