Reply #4: Just thought of a way to use much smaller EYE SCREWS!

[bvar22]

Simply cut the bungee, thread the cut ends through the small eye screws, and securely tie together in the middle.

This would allow for a finer adjustment to determine the proper tension for the bungee cords!
After the proper length has been determined, a drop of epoxy on the knot would bulletproof it!

Going to get some small eye screws!
I'll post a picture of it later!


Only downside.....
With the BIG EYES, I can completely remove the bungee cord for shoulder carrying the bag when removed from the bike.
With the little eyes, the bungee won't come out.
