ianvan Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 moreso how sturdy is the locking mechanism? I'm strapping a tent, bag and sleeping bag to the tiedown straps and never really noticed how loosely the passanger seatpad fits. should I be strapping around the whole tail section haha?

Premium Member avanti Posted September 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 5, 2015 Pull off your passenger seat and take a close look at the underside and how it attaches. Then, you can decide; however, were I "hauling" much I'd be getting the mounts made for that purpose, either Yamaha's or aftermarket. Just my nickel's worth... All the best!

ianvan Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 wow you guys a litterally zero help hah. I have looked at it. but now would be a wise time to mention " no it seems safe but a lot of people have issues with it coming off!" or " havnt had any reports of the seat coming off yet" obviously I can see how it connects but who knows, I've only owned the bike for a short time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted September 7, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2015 I often use the stock tie downs for my gym bag. It works great for that. I do not think I would trust it for anything much heavier, but I might be a bit overly pessimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassecou Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The seat is tight and is not going anywhere. If you decide to add something else on it and strap it with bungee cords to the frame, it has even less chances to fly away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
