    Tie downs for passenger seat?

    I would like to carry a duffle bag on the passenger seat and use one of those stretch cargo nets to hold it in place. Has anyone come up with a method to attach the hooks somewhere without damage to the bike?

    I picked up a pair of Rok straps. No hooks, easy to use. I'd recommend 2 of those for your duffel, tie them on to the passenger handles with Rok straps.

    Still can't attach pics, but I used a cargo net.

    I was going to order those way back when, but saw this review on them which changed my mind:

    Not for the F6B

    These are advertised to fit the F6B. They may work great for standard Goldwings, but NOT the F6B. They raise the passenger grip handle rails (that extend over the rear deck) by nearly one inch (1"). The rails should be flush with the rear deck. The passenger back rest can't be used because of that, and the rails and trunk don't look good.

    Will,
    I wanted to use a sponsor first but if they don't fit, I wrongly assumed they did, these definitely do as I have them on my F6B for over 3 years now without a hitch even though it says "not F6B" on the website. For anyone that's interested I did a video on YouTube titled "F6B Upgrades" if you want to see them on the bike. Bear in mind I don't have a passenger backrest so I'm not sure if that will be a factor in this application but maybe seeing how they fit on the grab rail you can advise and consent on that.

    I thought to use a sponsor first for these, even though I don't use these particular pieces, but willtill informed me they wont work with a passenger backrest. I have used for 3 years consistently now the Show Chrome 52-802 tie downs without any problems and they specifically state they are not for the F6B.
