How are you supposed to use a cargo net on a pointy?
 
On curvys you can hook it on to the grab rails under the subframe, but on pointys there are no rails there!

No idea, hope that helps.

The pillion pegs should have some hooks on them.

pillion foot rest brackets have hooks on them, and I guess the bobbins under the grab rail.... as long as you're not too worried about paint damage!

I use the hooks on the pillion pegs, the rear indi stalks and the bobbins on the grab rail. Makes it a bit tight, but it's secure.

Hook the front into pillion pegs (either use the hooks for a little more tightness or just the pegs. Then at the rear, just wrap the net under the bike & hook it together. I have 3 hooks on the back of my net, the outer 2 get joined together, the 3rd hooks on the grab rail, or if I'm carrying my rug sack, loops under the grab rail & up on to the bag strap for extra safety.

For straps I use the hooks on pillion pegs and noggins under the grab rail.
But for a cargo net I usually lift the pillion seat and hook round the edges of that, then lock it back in place. Works fine for me....

My cargo net's fixed like kylie's, I took the pillion seat off and hooked the hooks together under the seat then put the seat back, no hooks visible, nothing rubbing the paintwork, BUT - it looks like Ena Sharples's hairnet :(

i frequently take the seat off hook the two hook on to the helmet holder then but the seat back on and stretch it back over and then double back on itself going around the grab rail

If I have pillion pegs and grab rail off, I can hook all 3 pairs of hooks to each other under the bike (above the wheel). I wouldn't like to have anything heavy or bulky relying on the pillion seat attachment points only :shock: even if it would be the tidyest.
