	The tabs for the bungee hooks are welded, pretty wimpily, onto the frame. You ~~should~~ ''really'' want to reinforce that area before venturing far from home. Your local welding shop should be able to do this relatively easily. Just pull the bags, fender, tail fairing, tail lights, turn signals, etc... off the back of the bike and have them throw on a 3/16" steel plate or something to reinforce that. Shoot it with black rust paint to make it match.		The tabs for the bungee hooks are welded, pretty wimpily, onto the frame. You ''really'' want to reinforce that area before venturing far from home.
