rear cowel straps

[dewie]

I just bought a rear seat cowel in the winter and only have about 300k with it on this spring. Those ghetto rubber bands BRP uses's to hold the cowel on is pathetic. Is there a fix or something else I can use to hold the cowel on, the two rear rubber bands all ready snapped and I want to avoid buying them through BRP cause they will just snap.

I searched the forum and didn't have and luck.
Thanks

I can't even figure out how the hell to get the straps reattached to the seat without getting really po'd.

we had the same problem with the cowl straps for the 2009. 3 out of 4 broke within a couple of month's use. At that time--I could not get replacements because I was told they were unavailable. We put a comfort seat on--the cowl dont work with that--so I have a red cowl with 1 bungee strap that is probably also rotten my now.

Anyone interested in a red cowl--with no bungees--I will sell it for 1/2 the going rate per the BRP catalog. Shipping via UPS store--ground rate to your location. Actual shipping cost will be charged.

Send me a PM if your interested.

:roflblack:Ghetto rubber bands... :roflblack: That's priceless! The velcro straps are a great solution. I have not had to change the velcro since I installed them, and they are still holding tight.
