Please post a picture of you have a non-bungee tie-down.

Thanks!
www.rokstraps.com These are recognized as one of the best ajustable bungee type strap out there. Don't mistake these for the POS hook bungee cords. Not even in the same league.

+1 on the ROK straps.....liked em so much I bought extra ones (different lengths)

Also bought some rolls of velcro (1 hook and 1 loop), had the wife make me some custom lengths on the sewing machine. I think the rolls were 3 inches wide and 15ft long.

I traveled many miles with a bag on the trunk luggage rack with 4 bungee cords crossed. I thought that would do it until I lost the bag somewhere on I-40 in Oklahoma. Learned that the small cargo net is the only sure way.

Hope that whoever found it could use all the goodies.

I use ROK Straps adjustable tie downs. They're more effective than bungee cords, which can scratch paint if you're not careful.

I don't know what you guys are talking about... my bag usually just holds on; otherwise she's likely to fall off.
