    How To: Make a tug strap

    If you dont know what a tug strap is, its a small piece of fabric that runs across the seat or rear fender to give you a lift point. You can buy one or you can build one, which is what im gona show you how to do.
    step 1, lay out your material across your seat to get an idea of where to put your holes, once you figure that out, mark the locations to put your holes.

    step 2, cut your hole into the fabric at the location you marked, get a nail and heat it with your propane torch until the tip is glowing red, stick it though the fabric and it will burn a hole. Fray ends of the fabric with a blow torch. Be careful not to light it on fire!

    step 3:remove your seat bolts and stick a washer on the bolt, slide the bolt through the hole in the fabric, put a washer on that side as well.

    Finally, install it, and there you have it..........

    well, i put one on the rmz250 tonight. looks great, but is a little tight. hoping that it will stretch a bit. it looks great. if i had a camera i would post pics. i cant even begin to explain how sweet and satisfying it is.
