    F6B Seat Tie Down Brackets?

    Has anyone found bungee tie down brackets which are designed for the F6B?
    I could only find products which aren't designed for our bike.

    These are what I use and they work great. You get three pair of different sizes for $15.

    Like this, but they're for the full wing.

    They will fit on the F6 !!! Great addition if hauling a pac on the back seat...drill some holes in the back rest riser and these and nothing will come off the bike !!!

    Please post a pic. I'd like to see exactly where you drilled and which brackets you used.

    Steve-I don't think those brackets referenced from Wingstuff fit well at all. In the first place, the bolts shown definitely won't work on the F6B because our bikes require longer front bolts. Second, the brackets don't fit well either due to the F6B grab rail design. That's not to say you can't use them but they just don't fit quite right, especially with the back bolts. I am using a couple of the brackets with the front bolts but modified them to work with ROK straps. As you can see in the pic below (sorry for poor shot), I cut a slot in the brackets and added edge guard to prevent wear on my straps. This setup works reasonably well.

    I bought the ones Steve posted and sent them back.
    They do not fit at all.
    I refuse to drill through a beautiful powder coated riser.
    Uh Uh..no way..ain't gonna happen.
