Kit review - Rok Straps




I own a set of BMW sports panniers and plan to buy myself an SW-Motech tank bag, as I suspect this combination will be well suited to multi day trips.  But I don’t really use the panniers atm.

However this review is for a big endorsement for Rok-Straps – I have two sets = four straps of the shorter length Motorcycle Stretch Strap and like them a lot.  The have a loop at one end that can go around handles and rear frame on the K, or anything else on anything else.  They don't flap, and I do have confidence that they are secure.  They are sold in my local BMW authorised dealer.

Also – favourite luggage: an ordinary Thule 30l backpack kindly given to me by my lovely partner, which has been hauled around on the back of bikes for the last four years.  Big enough for: trainers, sandals, shorts jeans, socks, pants, two shirts, running gear, spare gloves, wallet papers phone chargers, washgear.  Mind you by then its pretty much bursting  :) and no room for impulse buys.
When the pack is really not big enough, I use a 60 litre Decathlon waterproof holdall.  Also wonderful.



The Thule pack  has survived mud and torrential rain, seems to stay pretty dry, and its easy to carry off the bike.

Anyway - Rok Straps.

Thanks Brian - I clearly still havent got this photos thing cracked ...

but in the post I see pics where you see boxes.  I used screenshot.net as a host site for my pictures.  I read the "how to" but is there something else I should be doing?  Appreciate any help.

Not using screenshot.net?

Try Photobucket. Works every time.

Also, we have our very own Google Drive referenced from the How To file.
