Title: Re: tank bag for plastic tanks Post by: carlosbarrios on July 30, 2008, 05:55:33 AM I use the SW-Motech stuff. You can get them at twistedthrottle. It's basically a "horseshoe like" ring that mounts around your gas cap, and it couples with the bottom of the tank bag. The bag never touches your tank, so the paint doesn't scratch, EVER! You can leave it on without any worries. Taking it off is just a matter of pulling the release lanyard. They have different style bags that can go on it. I'll never use a different tank bag ever again.

Does it look clunky or obvious? errrghh.... kinda... yes. That is the only drawback. But I usually have the bag on anyways. Available tank bags and other accessories that can clip onto the ring: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productlist/441/ Picture of the ring on the bike: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/imagecatalogue/imageview/5670/?RefererURL=/trade/productview/1859/114/ http://www.twistedthrottle.com/imagecatalogue/imageview/5669/?RefererURL=/trade/productview/1859/114/ Title: Re: tank bag for plastic tanks Post by: ltnuke on July 31, 2008, 07:08:09 AM I highly recommend the cortech sportech super 13 tank bag with straps.

Looks good, mounts easily, fits great and isn't too gangly on the bike. No scratches or other issues at all with this bag. You'll find a great price on it at motorcyclesuperstore.com too. Happy shopping!

for bags that fit your bike. Here are some pics of mine (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn127/zaster99/IMG_0938.jpg) (http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn127/zaster99/IMG_0939.jpg) Haven't seen anything more user friendly or practical than this. It is expandable to twice the size on the picture and is rated at 11 liters. |
