Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Lashing luggage

Would welcome advice from seasoned travellers with luggage, as we prepare for our first longer trip in our Plus Four.

From the many great suggestions on this forum we picked a wheeled waterproof duffel bag from Ortlieb for our rear rack (side panel storage; no spare wheel) and we got a couple of thief-resistant Kanulock straps.

What do you do to strap the luggage on so it cannot take its own surprise holiday on the motorway tarmac?

Is it enough to have a cross arrangements (one vertically in the centre + one horizontally)? Do you loop the straps around the bars at each end or just once around the whole thing (luggage+bars)?

And do you put anything under the bag to protect the chrome bars from scratching?

Thanks for your advice.

Posted on another thread as well but in addition to Kanulock strapped up down and left to right, I also wrap each of our waterproof bags in a pacsafe net which also locks to the rack. That way they're further protected from theft e.g. being cut open and provide additional securing points to the car.
