I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tankbag for our bikes? I already have the little joe but I'm thinking about something a bit bigger.

I discovered very quickly that even most of the "mini" tankbags don't fit well between seat and console. I have this one:  but I think I look like a pervert when I'm reaching for the zipper pull at the back.

Eric, I reckon you may be right about trying to find a suitable bag for our bikes. Thanks for the pic of yours but it's not really my style but I can see why you like it ie. US Army. tks anyway

Yes, the magnets in all the Bags are tough and will stick to any metal. I am working on getting Cortech, but have Nelson Rigg and Chase Harper right now ad well as DOWCO Tank Bags eddy

I too have the Oxford Sports small magnetic that MackDaddy uses.
I generally hate the way all of these bags look but they do serve their purpose.
Plenty of room for all the stuff I don't want to put in my pockets.
Make sure the tank is clean of dust and wipe off the magnet tabs before attaching. They will scratch your paint.

I was at a Kawasaki dealership in Burbank last week. They carry Field Sheer bags, and for $99, the bag I saw was extremely good. Didn't pick it up cuz I thought it might be too big, but now I wish I got it, as it would fit our tanks.
