When I picked up my 500 I was disappointed to find out that I could not shut my tailgate like I did with my 400. Even though I strap my bike in well, I hate riding with the tailgate down. I just feel more comfortable when it's up plus I don't have to worry about other stuff sliding out. This is what I came up with to keep the tailgate up on my Z-71. When I cinch the straps down, it tightens the tailgate against the rear tires. The weep holes were already in the tailgate so all I had to do is throw together a couple of quick-links. Works for me.
