Hey guys,
At this point in time, I'd rather not put a rack on my Blur. But I was thinking about a cargo-net styled bungees. Anyone fiddled around with these types of bungee netting? Is anchoring it tricky? Looks like there's several brands and types, so any specific type/size recommendations for a 220i Blur?
Unsure of usage. Obviously haven't stored anything outside yet. Perhaps helmet storage when parked (with a cable running the helmet). Would be great if it was secure enough to ride with a bag of groceries or extra jacket/sweater or something netted down behind me.
Thanks!

I picked up a cargo net at a local motorcycle shop... I forgot what brand it is. I saw two kinds... one with metal hooks and the other with plastic. I chose the metal only because the net was smaller on metal hooks. I didn't want too large of a net since I only planned on strapping small cargo to the back. I have yet to use it on an actual ride, I just have it just in case. I'm sure a jacket or even a small duffle bag would be fine. Let me know if you get to use it too.
When parked, I use the helmet hooks under the seat to lock my helmet to the bike.

Saddlebags on the Blur
Hi everyone,
I help run a scooter shop in Colorado and I also own a Blur 220. I have a set of these Downco Saddlebags and love them. I am not a fan of top boxes on the Blur for aesthetic reasons. They hold quite a bit and are a breeze to take on and off. I don't have a car and ride all year round - these are perfect for grocery store runs
You can get a pair of these for around $100 and they velcro to each other under the seat. They also have a rain hood and are heat proof and water resistant.

Downco Saddlebags
Do Downco Saddlebags come in a hard lockable case style?
