I have a MultiVario on the K100rs and I'm having a heck of a time fastening & removing the mounting plate "hooks" on the sides. Especially the right side.
The way they are designed they have to kind of rotate and snap over the lower tank seam. It seems there's almost no way to rotate the bottom edges around the lower seam without the upper end of the clip contacting the outer bottom of the tank.
I gently bent the clip outward with 2 pairs of vice grips but it didn't seem to get any easier to put on or get back off.
On my upcoming journey, I may have to take a small pair of vice grips with me just to get the needed hand leverage to remove it.
I would normally just remove the bag from the base plate but the side zippers are a bit buggered at the rear corners. If I separate those it takes like a half hour to get the zippers closed up again.
Please help me fix the strap fasteners!!!
