Running into an issue with my K75 tank bag's elastic side straps. The ones that go down the side and hook onto the welded seam that runs the length of the tank on both sides. The problem is that the elastic is shot. Well actually it has been for some time. This weekend I picked up a new bag (well it is the same bag but much less used) and thought I had solved my problem. Then I learned I had screwed up and the base is actually for a R90S, R100RT, or R100RS. If you don't know what I'm talking about BMW sold the same bag for many different machines but changed the bottom base plate to match the bike model. In many/most cases it appears simply to allow for the gas tank filler to be in different locations.
Anyway I'm back to repairing my original bag's straps . Has anyone else ever replaced the elastic? It looks do-able but thought I would ask before jumping in and mucking it up.
best regards
