Default Strap Question

I am purchasing a C50 next week. I was wondering what to use to strap down a gym bag I take to work with me.
Thanks.

Bungie cords? Bungie net? Rope? Zip ties?
Ok, so the last two weren't very practical, but the first two are. Are you getting the luggage rack for it? If not, you can just bungie it to the pillion seat, unless someone will be riding there...

A must have for the glove box. Last year my buds rear bolts came loose for his exhaust, we just bungied it up and made it home. Then there's always duct tape. Saddle bags work nice also.

I always use a net. Bungees can work off a solid object.

Yea, the bungee net is the best way to strap something down quick. You can get them at any dealer between 5 to 10 dollars.
