Securing bags what do you use?

GothicGhost · 12 Aug 2015 at 19:05

For the bag I am trying to secure I don't think bungee cord will work as the bag doesn't have any metal loops to wrap around it.

Never used cargo netting but thinking that's my only option.
The bag bit on heavy side though.

Thanks.

bunjee cord for me,just wrap it round or over the whole bag and rear footrest hangers?

use two and join em together,aslong as it doesn't slide of your bike to the side

some rope or cordage?

Gaffa tape.

Or a cargo net and/or bungee cords.

Or buy a bag that's made to attach to your motorbike.

Have you really used Gaffer tape before?
In a emergency I guess so lol

TallPaul_S · 12 Aug 2015 at 19:35

Sorry, should have added a

Good in an emergency, but might be a little messy taking it off

GothicGhost · 12 Aug 2015 at 19:38

Yeah I bet lol

I think I will get some heavy duty bungee cord see how it goes.
Seen some flat bungee cord that could be better but it don't look as strong.

Your exhaust seems a bit on the big side mate

Is that a gun?!

Cargo net or bungee cord, or both

Looks like you need a tank bag.

GothicGhost · 13 Aug 2015 at 06:41

I was looking at tank bags before but my idea a shoulder bag would be fine but it's too heavy to use on the motorbike just using the strap.

Bloody hell that's a loaded bike might wanna think about one of these

Rok Straps, like bungees but better.

I just use bungee cords, wrap them over the bag and under the seat, hook the ends together. Bag isn't going anywhere with 2 of those.

Just had a look at these, nice idea but stupidly expensive.

Really good deal on the Oxford X40 tank bag

These. Never had any problems with them and so much better than bungees.

I've got a Bungee that has 3 hooks either end & a ring in the middle connecting the 6 bits of Bungee & 6 hooks together, It'll hold just about anything on.
