Best 5 bux I've ever spent

What I did on my VFR with a bungee net:

(1) Remove the hooks from the net.
(2) Remove the seat from the bike.
(3) Lay net out flat on ground.
(4) Lay seat over net, upside down, so that the rear part of the seat is over the net.
(5) Grab three or four zip-ties.
(6) Wrap net around seat, and zip-tie together.
(7) Reinstall seat.

Granted, this method does not allow full use of the net for larger items, but for things like VHS rentals, fanny pack, a cap, etc., it works great. But, you don't need to remove the net each time you remove the seat, and best of all, no contact with painted surfaces.

He's not that damn smart. I did the same thing on my VFR without removing the hooks. Can still use for big stuff if needed. If you keep speaking such BS you are going to make his head swell. He will think he deserves more pudding and time in the social room at the Institution.

Seriously, I did that on my VFR also and it is an excellent idea.

I found that the hooks could get in the way of the seat latch, and the zip-ties made for a more secure and semi-permanent setup. And because I am not such a tightwad, Appalachian John, I bought a second $5 net that I could use if the need arose. BTW, I never used the hooks on any of the nets. I found it safer for the paint if I just removed the hooks and wrapped the net around the Frankenbolts and grab handles. Now go back out on the back porch and tell your brother to get his hands out of your sister's pants.
