I got tired of my tank bag straps hanging down when I removed the bag. I bought 2 O-Rings; threaded the air box bolts through, and now I don't have to remove the front strap when I want to ride without the bag.
Good point. I think I will get some of the clear scratch film/tape to use under the clips. Although since my brake reservoir had a leak and left permanent spots on the air-box, I am not too worried.
