Get some extra bungee's better to have to many than not enough... I've got a spyder set of bunges that I put over the top of mine as well as the ones it came with. It useful for strapping extra stuff on top of the tailpack to.
Make sure you put it quite near the rear of the pilion seat and make sure the straps are tight. I've had mine move under heavy braking and then it thumps me in the back until I get fedup with it and take it off and re-position it again.
You know that stuff they sell to put on worktops etc to stop plates and stuff like that moving about, get a roll of that and stick the under it rather than a towel, it'll grip the tailpack better and stop it moving about.
This is mine again on the GSXR when we did our Ireland trip last year. I had to have Liz's little kreiga tailpack on my bike to as the bolt vibrated out on her seat cowl and it wouldnt have been secure. I used the spyder to bungee her tailpack onto mine
