Recommend me a tank bag? - SV650.org

Hi orgers,

I'm after a tank bag, not to big and bulky, and with a clear top for maps/satnav to be held. just wondered if any of you guys have any recommendations.

Cheers

By far the best ones I have ever owned are the Bagster tank bags. Expensive but they last brilliantly and are well worth the money, they are attached using a tank cover which you will also need, hence the cost, but it's only the cover which is bike-specific the bag can be kept and used with your next bike.
Anyone who knows me knows how mean I am, and if I'll spend the money I must be suitably impressed with the kit.

Look here for the bags.

Oxford humpback. Good, robust, expandable kit.

I bought a new tank bag the other day and can't remember for the life of me what make it is...

This post is of no use to you, I'm sorry.

Bike or someone did a reasonable review a while back, testing them with powerspray, for their features etc.

I'll see if I still have it when I get home.

Another +1 for Bagster tank harness plus bags. Very stable on the bike and hard wearing, wont damage the tank, keeps your thighs off the cold tanks. Excellent.

Ive had a bog standard oxford tanky for years and its lasted really well. Bargain price (cant remember what I paid - it was on offer). Zips all still good, roomy and loads more magnets than Ive seen on some!
