Has anyone come up with a slick, vintage style replacement for the ever-failing, Indian rubber battery straps?

I replaced them with new last year (on a 2006 Classic) and just last week one of the new ones died and the last one is failing fast.

I'm thinking leather, but maybe in a pinch I'll use nylon straps, like mini seatbelts. Not vintage, but secure.

Black bungees? I've never had (read that yet) had any trouble with mine.

Well!! ---I would'nt dream of buying a battery strap.

I would first try cutting up an inner tube. They are free and a trucks inner tube is quite strong.

    Try a divers goggles strap,-- meant to do the same thing.

     Thats the fun with these bike --you can make everything.

      If you ever have a real ole British bike you have to do this stuff.
