...Anyone knows of ways and tricks to add mounting points on a bike that bungee cords can use?...
My only suggestion: Add the Honda luggage rack. It's small, EXPENSIVE, and rather irregularly shaped, but at least provides a place to carry a small object atop the trunk. I find many inadequacies compared to my 1500 but it's a compromise for having lost confidence in using my clutch. The DCT automatic keeps me riding.
Apologies for your original post vanishing when I responded, Ryck... no idea why the original disappeared.

Re: Creating mounting points
You could try these:

They are elastic, like bungee cords, but are flat and loop back on themselves so they can fit into and secure to frame members where a solid hook cannot.

I wondered what happened. Thanks for restoring my post and the suggestion. I'll pass it along.
At first I didn't notice but his Goldwing has such smooth lines in the body work you really had to be imaginative in how to make any bungee cord work.

Thanks but the thought I had was to create hard points to the bike in places where he can use bungee cords to carry something, anything, on the back seat.
Mounting a luggage rack to the top of a topcase is an idea.

Interesting! I'll pass this along to my friend. Thanks.
Re: Creating mounting points
I love Rok Straps. 100% better than ordinary bungees. In addition to using them for the bike, I used some last weekend to strap some camping gear to the roof rack of my Outback. BTW, Aerostich sells cheap nylon "Frame Loops" which can be used to create mount points for bungee cords.
