Default Cargo Net question

Hey i'm in the market for a cargo net but have no clue what size or type to get. I think targa is a good brand but don't know what size to get. Anyone have a tip with a possible link of where to get it?

Just do what I do, go to your local bike shop and pick one up. There only around 5 to 8 bucks and just about any motorcycle store has them.

I use the elastic cargo nets w/ plastic hooks from CargoLoc. Walmart used to stock them but got my last ones from Amazon w/ free shipping. Amazon.com: CargoLoc 84060 Motorcycle/ATV Cargo Net 15 inch by 15 inch by 6 hooks: Home Improvement

I think some bike shops have a regular size (like a one size fits all) and some sell ones that are really large. I have a regular/one size fits all that I got from a Super Walmart for like $8.00 or $9.00. It stretches really well and have been able to secure a spare helmet with no problem.

ok i picked up a adjustable 15 x 15 with plastic hooks. fits great and allows me to do a helmet or anything else i choose. I'm thinking about trying to put my labtop if it will be tight enough. My tank bag i don't think can hold that much weight and will more than likely slide off. any thoughts?

You do NOT want to put your laptop in your tank bag - you don't want it next to the magnets in the bag.

Put your laptop in a tail bag & secure it further w/ the net.
