Smart bungee system

[altonk]

Went to home depot to get so tie downs for my backpack, etc for the sits trip.
Not having all that storage space on a rt I have to strap my stuff on.

I found this bungee system

Went home and tried out
I was impressed the ends snap on and hold securely
Nice to have a flexible system to strap down my stuff and those nervous passengers that keep wanting to jump off when they ride with me hyea:

Interesting system. Thanks for tipping us off. The closed loops may work well with the Spyder grab bars. I like the fact that you can connect them together for extra length.

I use any of three strap systems for my motorcycles. There are the Helen2Wheels PackStraps, the RokStraps, and the PiggybackStraps. All of these are some combination of straps with a closed loop at one end, that fastens around the motorcycle frame, grab bar, or seat. Much more secure than bungees...and fully adjustable. The Helen2Wheels straps are a two-piece pair of straps, with D-ring connectors. The RokStraps use a snap connector, and have an integral rubber section for flexibility and tension. Available in a mini-size, too. The PiggybackStraps use a double D-ring and have two cargo straps per side, so you can safely strap down two bags separately.

One caution about bungees...use extras. They break and they stretch, so you always need more than you think. Loop all straps through handles or other loops if you can, so if they come loose, you have a fighting chance to save your load.

+1 on the Rok Straps. I used those on my Trip of a Lifetime with IrishtotheMax and they worked great in holding my waterproof bag on the rear seat. When gasing up, I simply unsnapped the quick release and voila, I was good to go.

You can get a larger system for use with your 'Nervous' passenger. Limits their ability to shift around or exit the vehicle without authorization - Soft, durable material - does not restrict vision or abliby to turn their head.

Stows nicely when not needed and comes in various colors too!

Nothing on these straps to break or stretch. They are a little more expensive.

Very similar to the Helen2Wheels PackStraps.
