    I robbed the ones off my fender bag so I could mount larger bags on the rear of the bike without having a rack, & would like a few more.
    I dont know the clip you mean but I use bicycle toe straps for holding things on. Brilliant things. Fit to heaps of things and never come lose.

    Not sure if they would be any use to you but thought I would suggest it.

    I have been using clip type fender bags for years, and have had them come off occasionally. Been using this one for 2years...cannot come off.

    Awesome straps... www.motomox.co.nz/shop/show_single_product.php?prod=194

    Dirt and dust can chuff through a tube if it's not in a decent bag or pouch though.

    Side note you dont need two tubes one will work well enough on either end thats what they used to do pre tyre mouses in ISDT etc
    i used to stuff on under the seat. (Not that i rode ISDT)
    Hondas used to have a pouch on the rear gaurd or on those old twin shocks a toolbox mounted muffler style i can't ever remember seeing one with its end intact. much like the side cover tabs on the same models.

    I've herd some guys fab an alloy plate to reinforce the front guard when putting those tool bags on em....prolly not if your only carrying a tube but I'd likely have to resist the temptation of putting summit heavier in there: tool kit, gas cooker, deck chair, spare battery, oil, fuel..... BMW tow rope
    ....wherezz that track go

    Which reminds me,I need to replace Woodmans tow rope which got munted when he towed me to get the XR going after a wee swim ...& he'd done such a good job of rolling it all tidy like. Amazing the stuff that you can stash on a beemer...

    Na its all good, and is re-installed in the frame tube. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how I had rolled it up the first time, so just basically stuffed it in this time.

    On topic with front gaurd storage, all my bikes have had frame mounted fairings so any bag on the frontguard has to be mounted way forward where the gaurd gets floppy FYI.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
