| The one thing I miss from my old Maxi is the curry/bag hook. I notice the smaller Honda scooters have one but.......!
Opinions, please: I have some of these
http://www.cyclegadgets.com/Products/product.asp?Item=BBUD
and wonder about fitting one on each side* of the dash-board, between the plastic centre panel and the cubby-hole lids, roughly level with the pop-out square. Then I can have a strap or whatever to hang things on (with a snap-hook).
I don't want to spoil the Silverwing or its looks although bearing in mind the Bungee Buddies are very tastefully made and look good.
(*I do have a specific reason for fitting a pair rather than just one in the centre)
Thanks in advance.

| Yes I miss the curry hook but I've acquired a couple of very handy hooks from Lidl. The ones on the front of their trollies. I found them on the road outside. |

| Sounds good, Bob. How have you attached them? |

| Just with some cord Mike and loop it around something suitable when it's required. |

| I really miss my curry hook too.I had one on the X9 which was very handy as it was a sort of split loop which sprung shut and fitted neatly. On the S/Wing theres a small cover plate right in the centre of the plastic body work just in front of the rider.I believe its an access hole for removing some fixing or other and I'd thought of making up a metal bracket,drilling it to take 5mm screws and sliding it inside, so a hook of some sort it could be neatly screwed to it through the body work. Alternatively the one from the X9 could probably be fitted.
If anyone's fixed a similar sort of thing it would be useful to see a pic or two. |

| I wondered about that, too, especially as the Silverwing scooter-bag comes with a press-stud which fits in that coverplate hole: http://www.silverwingstuff.com/info.html
I just wonder what everyone thinks of my plan to put the Bungee Buddies on the dash as I don't want to spoil the bike's appearance. |

| I do not think they would negatively affect the look (or lines) of the SilverWing at all. They do seem like they would be a very handy item. |
