[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 21466, member: 329"] Yes, you are missing a decent tiedown point just like all the rest of us. If you are traveling solo and want to use the backseat to carry items you can use the luggage rack bolts under the rear seat to rig a tiedown point on each side. A one inch wide strap will work but a metal bracket is better. To do it right, you will have to take the luggage rack off the bike and file down the plastic just in front of the bolt hole so the metal bracket can extend sideways under the seat. Bend the bracket before you bolt it down and then find tune the "bend" after it is installed. The metal bracket should be about 3.5 to 4 inches long (with about 5/16th inch holes on each end) depending on how high you want the tiedown to be. [/QUOTE]
