The newer straps are a lot easier to use than the old ones. I have them fitted to my S and have left them fitted underneath the seat. You can also use the 2 anchor straps that are built into the seat, which un-hook, so you only need 2 of the Kreiga straps. I've also used the Kreiga straps around the rear grab handles in the past. Basically you have lots of places you could attach the straps to, so get them, and you won't be disappointed, I love them, best money I've spent in a long time, also you can take them with you when you change the bike and fit them to another bike, win win.
