I just cut mine in the middle with my Gerber and let the ends dangle. Now when Mamas on for a ride she just wraps her hand up like the rodeo. EEE-HAAAA

Well I just glanced at them when I was cleaning, but the strap looked like it was behind the saddle bag connector on the left side.

Hey dawg. I am going to remove the strap, should I put some spacers in place of the strap buckle?
I ain't Dawg, but will answer anyways ;
No, just put the bolt back in an tighten it down.... no problem, the only thing it will do is move the saddlebag maybe 1/32" closer to the seat.... so if the lid is really close to hitting your seat, you may want to add a washer under the bracket.
