I've seen lots of ideas on fitting tank bags to the Blade's plastic tank cover, such as:- Taping metal strips to the underside of the tank cover, which I found quite weak. Using straps, which I throught spoil the lok of the bike. The Givi quick release system, which I personaly found that that the bags were too big and expensive. I have had 2 ideas which I will be using together. Idea 1: Is to tape Neodymium magnets under the tank cover where the tank bag magnets will sit. These are extremely strong magnets and should grip quite well without taking much space underneath. The ones I ordered are at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170797388034?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Idea 2: IUsing a longer fuel cap bolt, I fitted a 5mm P-Clip and attached a lanyard clip. The other end of which is sewn into the tank bag. The front end of the tank bag is strapped round the headstock as normal, but stays in place at the back when clipped in (see pics). The magnets from Idea 1 will simply take up any of the vibrations to prevent possible scratches to the tank cover. This allows me to keep my small tank bat (Oxford 1st Time) and creates a quick release system leaving just a small clip on the fuel cap when removed.
