Title: Walmart Bungee Net
Post by: ReverseTrike on July 25, 2011, 12:53:48 PM
Couldn't sleep last night so I drove to Walmart to buy a quart of oil. I was surprised to see that they sell Bungee Nets for motorcycles. Decided I'd pick one up.

It was like $5.98 I believe. Just letting other GS'ers know that Walmart sells them.

That looks just like the one I ordered off ebay for a similar price. Any issues with the hooks coming off from where you've hooked them? Mine will do that if there's not a decent amount of cargo to provide tension.

Yo......

Remove those stupid metal hooks....they are nothing but trouble.....will mess up your plastic....

I just loop the bungee net right over the little gizmos on the rail under the seat....fits tighter then too......

I actually added some bungee, to make the net contact at four points,,,and to fit larger cargo...

Good choice. Those nets are worth every penny..

I have one (in the tank bag) every time i go out for a ride, never know when you'll need it.

Twocool is right, the hooks will damage your plastics, depends on how careful you are though.. My plastics are scratched to hell, so it doesnt bother me..

I use my all the time, I have it hooked to the metal bar under the plastic.  I have carried all sorts of stuff under the net with never an issue.
