Me again.................anybody here use a tank bag on there bike for everyday usage............when i had my blackbird i had a bagster and tank bag..........is there anything out there that keeps the blades sporty look.......fcuk ive soooooooo many questions to ask..................im sure its getting boring to see my avatar
Not at all Bry. That's what this place is for mate. I tried a tank bag and didn't get on with it much. I felt it restricted my movement across the tank while cornering. It was causing me to stay more upright than normal and it didn't feel comfortable at all, so I didn't persevere.
AH.....never thought about that.........never had that problem on bird........what about bumbags or fannypacks for the americans
I've got a great one that was a freebie from Fuji. It's a water resistant bum bag that can open out to a rucksack. Great if I buy something more than pocket sized when I'm out on the bike. Even better is because mine's an 02, it's got a boot and the bumbag fits in there even with the tool roll. I usually use a rucksack. Fine if you don't carry a pillion, but you need to keep it cinched up quite high to keep it off the seat hump. I'm sure there was a thread on here a few months back about sporty luggage. Remal's got a shit hot thread on here about his recent euro trip and he seriously loaded up his 'Blade.
I just bought this for next years tour, it seems small enough and has a great easy fitting system! (takes all of two mins)...which wont move around when riding GIVI T489 TANKLOCK - Soft Luggages not used for every day use yet but will give some feedback once tested. obviously the plastic cover over the tank doesnt work on the magnet system like most tank bags so this works well! if you want smaller but same fixing try this.... they are both under £100 quid, but are real quality gear GIVI TPH02 TANKLOCK - Soft Luggages
I use my tankbag on my RR6 almost every time I go out on the road. I have a SW Motech Quick Lock Engage Sport SW Motech Tank Bags It's a great piece of kit and the shape isn't obtrusive at all when riding. It showed the quality of the bag and the fixing when I had my off, the bike turned upside down for a short while on the tarmac and scraped the top of one of the zips along the road. The bag held fast and survived intact, without detaching or spilling any of the contents. I have continued to use the bag ever since.
I have a kriega tailpack, really useful bit of kit and on and off the bike in no time at all, it's 20 litres in size and bigger than I thought, just an option maybe
not gonna do a tankbag now...............the wife thinks it takes away from the sporty look............bought the kriega r11 instead...............
Hi just seen your post and am looking for a very small tank bag for my blade, seen one that looks just like a jockstrap, is this the one you have, if so can you mail me where you bought. Cheers Dave
