How do I keep my luggage on?
 

Been looking at my SV rear end where I would put all my luggage on, where in earth do I hook my bungee straps to?

There doesnt seem to be any suitable hooking places!?

Or am I blind!? And its for the AR07 so where is everything going to go? Any pics with regards to a pointy fully loaded?

:confused:

Be helpful for me to !! Ive just bought a tail pack and not even looked at how to attach it or secure it yet!!!

Bungee points on the SV are hooks on the pillion pegs and lugs on the grab rail.

the bungee hooking places are under the rear footrests (at the top), there should also be two nipples on the underside of the pillion grab rail.

you said nipples!

There are a couple of bungee hooks on your pillion pegs.

Not sure if there are more hook-points on the standard snow-shovel monstrosity too - got rid of mine for an undertray. :roll:

If you're thinking of panniers though, I have the oxford ones and with all the straps they are already pretty sturdy when fitted - i just fitted two more bungees between the front-end of the bags and the pillion pegs, and then for the rear-end I sort of bungee'd them to each other with the straps wrapped underneath the tail of the bike, behind the number plate. Hope that makes sense!
If you've still got your grab-rail I'm sure an extra bungee wrapped around that somehow wouldn't hurt.

Oh by the way, put something between the bags and your paintwork! Some of that non-slip webbing stuff is perfect, stops the paint getting scratched.


EDIT - beaten to it while typing! :lol:

Get a givi rack and topbox... then you'll never have bungee problems ever again....

Get a Rentec rack it bolts in place of your grabrail(2 bolts) looks neat and tidy! they cost about £45.

Thanks for the tips folks, i have a tank bag, tail pack and panniers all by oxford.

I doubt i wil be needing all 3!

Doubt it, I'm only planning on a tankbag and a smallish rucksack, with the tent bungee'd to the pillion seat. I used my panniers for the north / south run last year and it was overkill really.
