Nuts in all shapes and sizes are available from various suppliers, including custom fastners in the UK.
I'm not sure where you'd put them, though. I hook bungees to the mounting bracket under the back of the seat and right down to the rear footrest brackets.
I s'pose a grab rail would provide a handy place to hook your bungees.

They replace the stock top shock nut. I just can't bring myself to put on saddlebags, but I'd like some minimal carrying capacity. I thought this was a pretty elegant, low-cost solution on the H-D.

I positioned two Bungie Buddies on each side of the fender, one nearly invisible near the shock, and the other about 12-15" behind. I also replaced the top nuts on the license plate with Bungie Buddies.

Cal,

Precisely. And $2 less than H-D gets for them. Full marks. Thanks.

And I thought Bungee nuts were what you got when they cinched the harness too tight...



These bungee nuts look great, do you know if the top shock bolt is a 8mm or 10mm?

Without them, you'd never experience the patter of little bungees around the garage.
