(New!) Topic : Tying things down  Author  Post     fasteddy  Chaac Reg. Date  :  16/10/2008 Posts  :  963 Location  :  Wisconsin, United States Posted : 22 Jul 2010 - 17:14   Post title : Tying things down   I have been working with a fellow from the forum here to come up with alternative tie down options for the Thunderbird. So far the Bungee rack and now a spool that fits on the shock mount. For the guys who want to strap things down and not worry about wrecking your hardware. I had posted in another thread about this but in the interest of people being able to find it, thought I would title it appropriately. These two items work well together or independently of each other. Just some options. eddy   www.fasteddysports.com  Author  Post     FTL40  Jupiter Reg.

It was soft on the bottom, fake leather on top, had 4 large permanent D rings, and it went under the rear pillion. It was unobtrusive and easy to use. I've since been unable to find it. I'll try to dig something up... There's also bungeemate.com....   A full tank and a day off...

Well, we can sure make some for that location. Size, they are not huge in size but yes they stock out, utilitarian item more than cosmetic.   www.fasteddysports.com  Author  Post     hogeyphenogey  Set Reg.

It worked very well! I see pics of newer styles now- this is the one I had, but they now come longer for wider pillions, and some now have black d rings. I'm thinking of picking one up for this bike.   A full tank and a day off... Absolute Heaven! 2015 Victory Gunner Post edited by hogeyphenogey on 24 Jul 2010 - 12:58  Author  Post     mag10  Set Reg.
