Here's mine, not the best shot as I didn't have room to get the bike out of the garage, but it's a relatively cheap solution using an Oxford 1st Time tail pack and panniers, both of which are expandable to twice the size. My tank bag will remain a mini one just for wallet, phone etc. Here's how they looked on my last bike when I used them quite a lot.
Someone on here suggested putting magnets under the plastis tank cover so thats what I did and used a standard magnetic tank bag. In 2200 miles it did not move. On board was two weeks luggage and a laptop in lightweight drybags inside the Oxford stuff.
Cos i fcuked up :-o Yeah i tried magnets, but it didnt work for me, so i tried this http://1000rr.co.uk/showpost.php?p=97625
i got a sw motech one last year for my TT trip, it comes with a locking ring that bolts onto the petrol cap. the tank bag then clips into the ring. it is a great system as it can attached and detached in seconds, also the tank bag does not come into contact with the tank cover so no scratching takes place. well recommended.
Must admit I was a bit sceptical at first too, I used magnets from a old tank bag but they have to be the right way round N/S etc It did not stick as well as on a full metal tank butseemed good enough. Like the clip on idea too.
Hi Is that a US30 and US10? I am going to Lemans this year plus Southern Ireland for four days, so looking for best combo ideally without a tank bag.
