    Hi Guys,

    Went to a bike meet at Wincanton this week and saw a Blade with a very small bikini style tank bag. It was so small probably only held a wallet, visor cleaner and a few other bits and bobs. Really fancy one but cant find anything like it on the net. Any one know anything like this.

    Cheers Dave

    I got one via Stu at Cox Honda off here.....
    http://1000rr.co.uk/cox-honda/3624.htm
    Appears twice that link....erm.....its under the Cox Honda section on Forum - Comfort seat thread
    I had to send first one back as the zip popped off, they open and close on a curve - Second one has been used a lot since April, fits lovely, has a built in rain cover and a very stiff map pocket which I have taken off. It is very handy, but the strap has signs of wear and the zips aren't heavy duty. The zips work better when the weather is warm!!!!! I feel it would have been better with one side zip.....but it does look good on the bike and is easy on and off, and for pertrol fill ups - Was very handy for a 1500 mile trip to Germany last month
    :)

    PS - I had one of the Kriega straps before like the photo above, very nice, but you have to affix heavy duty velcro just under the front of the seat which wasn't a problem, but the front straps have to be double looped together and run around the headstock, this was fine on my previous bike, a K9 GSXR1000, as it had cable routing brackets either side, but nothing on the 2012 Blade and it was so tight arounf the head I felt they may have interfered with the steering, hence the Honda tank strap thingy.
    It comes with 2 bolts that replace the petrol tank ones either side at the front, and the bag hooks onto those securely, then 2 wire brackets for under the seat
    If you PM your e mail I can send some pics
