    Yeah i think i know what you mean.
    Although i have the version of the bag that doesnt come with the metal hook straps. Although they can be bought for about a fiver.

    The straps that i have are literally just the long Nylon straps with the plastic clip on each end. So they just wrap around the pillion seat and then click into the top of the bag.

    So if i remove the bag the 4 straps with clips are just hanging there.
    Couldnt be arsed whipping off the seat to take the straps off every time.

    Ah that'd make sense then. Pain in the hoop.

    Other difference with the loops on the bike would be that the straps in the one I got go around the subframe of the bike rather than just the seat, so you could put heavier things (I've put a chain in it a few times) without stressing out what's probably a flimsy as **** key mechanism holding the pillion seat on.

    Here's mine on, off, and where the straps go when I'm lugging it around: http://imgur.com/a/ydTz9

    Yeah see that looks dead handy. Just slide the nylon strap into those hooks and pull it tight. Maybe i should just buy those hooks for mine and hang onto it.... haha

    If you don't want to fork our for a Kriega, I've had one of these for a number of years and can't fault it:

    It's showerproof as it is and comes with an overcover.

    It was used about 10 times 6 years ago when i got my first bike.
    I used kept my Almax chain in it when going places. So the internal waterproof mag is filthy from the chain. Otherwise its all grand.
