Where can I find the elastic netting that I see people are using to secure their luggage to the bikes??

Are you referring to the "cargo-netting" ?

If so, you can pick them up at most spares shops like Midas. Makro and Game also stocks them, and pretty much all motorcycle dealers will have them.



Very Happy

KJ, do yourself a favour - elastic cargo netting is used to stop wind making loose plastic, fabric, etc flap.
They are very useful for holding your wet towel in place on top of your luggage so it can dry.
You should tie down the load with STRAPS that secure the load tightly.

Bungee cords are NOT the best choice for securing a load.
They are either too tight - risking them breaking - or they are too loose and will not stop your load from shifting during the trip.
ROK straps have a small length of elastic in them which allows a little stretch movement,
but I have used 25mm straps to secure every load and I have never had a failure...

My 5c worth... Cool
