stewslash Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 well here's my quandary I am in need of a new lid and have a few that I've tried on that feel really comfy , but the problem is my preferred lid has a double d ring strap , and I hate them, I find them loads of messing around to use and just prefer the ratchet type so my question is can I have a ratchet type strap fitted to replace the annoying double d ring strap ?

maccy Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Yes you can do this, Though you would have to make sure the stiching is perfect.Just look on ebay for a replacement Quote
fullscreenaging Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Double D is the best fastener you can get.The one's in the link are shit. they are forever loosening themselves. The first lid I bought was a Shark S800 that came with the seat belt type fastener. I hated it as I had to tighten the bloody the thing every couple of days. IMO persevere with the DD.Why do you hate them anyway? Quote
stewslash Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 i just find then fiddly to use, once i stop on the bike the first thing i want to do is get my lid off , I've just decided to bite the bullet and get used to the d ring type Quote
Stu Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 It's only because your not used to it I have always had double D and can't complain I have tried others and hate it Quote
techno Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I love the ratchet type, seat belt type are the worst, double d are middling lol Quote
Tango Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I prefer the Double-D ring type.....but it's what I'm used to.......and I always feel the lid is more secure than the other type fixing.....but that's probably perception rather than scientific fact...... Quote
