Default Tank bag which allows access to fuel filler

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new tank bag. I would like something around 20L, which is expandable and has a clear map pocket...

This is the easy bit!

I would also like one that has a clever way of accessing the fuel filler with the minimum of hassle. This could be a zip off base (with a hole in it!), or some other clipping arrangement....

Does anyone know specifically which bags, or manufacturers have a product that can do this?

In the past I've had Oxford Lifetime stuff which is good (though only have a small tank bag), and I've read Cargo is good stuff. By the way, I cannot seem to find the official CARGO website???

Cheers! Chris

Mine is just magnetic and I take it off and put it on the side? Can't you do that?

Magnetic is cheapest, but the baglux ones unclip easily and flip up, assuming it doesn't foul the clocks/screen.

I could do that, but as I am about to buy, I wanted to check if there is a better way?

For example, the Pacsafe Tank bag looks interesting - have a look at the video on the link:
http://www.pacsafe.com/www/index.php...n=detail&id=28

Also, quite novel is bags-connection quick lock system:

Just things I've seen, but only on the web!

It's funny how inadequate some designs are.

Slash proof - no
rain proof - no
theft proof - no
square map pockets - no
easy to carry - no

You can achieve more with a bin bag and a bungy net!
