Too easy to make one for almost free. I've got it on my bike already.

Take a piece of web strapping, measure the correct length including a 1" turn over. Use a soldering iron to melt the turn over down, then melt a bolt hole in the strap.

On the Yamaha use the seat bolts. On the newer KTM there is 2 threaded holes under the rear of the subframe to attach it to. You will have to find 2 small bolts for the KTM.

Perfect idea. I've got a set of Pink ones to recycle from 1991. They matched my YZ250.

MotorEd, you want me to make you a set, of pink ones that is?

By the way, I learned this trick from BigR.

So I built one for myself last night...took about 5 min and cost just about zero as I used some old staps I had in the garage. Great idea DB!

If mine doesnt hold up you can definetly make me a pink one

The tugger doesn't make sense in the garage but it works great when the bike is down in a rut.

I guess we'll see what happens with your strap on the weekend, take it easy on Friday night
