I didn't have inner tubes, so i tried 3" tac ties(maxpedition), and it works great. i can finally unsheath it w/ one hand.
it's great improvement over unsnapping and then searching for where the knife went(parallel to ground).
thanks again for the great idea.

VERY nice application of "technology", cccpull. I love the sheath loop adjustment.
I can only imagine what you'd do if you saw my stash of inner tubes...
Hahaha, I should post a pic.

This is end of the world, Mad Max style, technology. It's me, a BK2, and all the inner tubes you'll ever need.
Everybody is not as prepared as Daizee and me . No inner tubes?
Seriously, If I had those tac ties I would have used them, they most likely look better. What I had were velcro bundle straps which I covered with inner tube (since I already had the magnesium bar attached that way) it maintained what I like to call the "Butyl Rubber Motiff". It's all about style.:barf:
But it does work well.

Now that is clever. I always love a simple mod that can be put back to stock easily.

What size inner tube did you use for the grip?
700c x 27 tube from a blowout. Fits real snug.

A friend of mine has a bicycle shop.
A few years back we asked him to save his junk tubes for us for projects instead of trashing them (apparently it's no longer cost-effective to recycle them).
There are even a couple 18" motorcycle tubes from when I put new shoes on my cb350.
All those tubes there are raw materials - new ones live in their boxes. The tires are a mix of usable and junk - cutting up junk bicycle tires is fun too.
