I took my strap off and replaced it with some loops out of nylon strap for securing bungy cords.

Took mine off the first day I got my Heritage home. I ended up sending it to a military guy in Germany, from the forums, who needed it for his Fatboy's inspection over there.

for you texans, better put the grab strap back on.....

new law:

SECTION 3. Section 545.416(b), Transportation Code, is
amended to read as follows:
(b) An operator may not carry another person on the
motorcycle, and a person who is not operating the motorcycle may not
ride on the motorcycle, unless the motorcycle is:
(1) designed to carry more than one person; and
(2) equipped with footrests and handholds for use by
the passenger.

SECTION 4. Effective January 1, 2015, Subchapter K, Chapter
547, Transportation Code, is amended by adding Section 547.617 to
read as follows:
Sec. 547.617. MOTORCYCLE FOOTRESTS AND HANDHOLDS REQUIRED.
A motorcycle that is designed to carry more than one person must be
equipped with footrests and handholds for use by the passenger.
