Recommend Mini Tank Bag
 
I know a fair few folks use a mini tankbag for odds and ends. The underseat space on my bike is pants, taken up with alarm and Scottoiler - so want a small tank bag to carry tool kit / levers / bulbs / first aid kit (small) / various other bits. Magnetic attachment preferred.

Any particularly good ones?

What bike have you got? I have a mate that uses the space in the fairing under the headlights on his curvy for storing the toolkit, made a strap to hold it all in place.

VFR VTEC (see sig.) hence the pants underseat storage. no room in fairings for anything, seems to be full of radiators, ABS gubbins etc. In fact struggling to find anywhere to put a decent horn.

Yeah, not a very clever idea that from Honda for a sports tourer. Hmm... stick with a littel tank bag then, there is a good one on the market but I can't remember the manufacturer (its got a small orange rectangular badge on it if that helps).

The Oxford tank and tail bag is great: it's got magnets for the tank but comes with straps so you can convert it into a tail bag if you want to reclaim your tank but still carry stuff.

I'd link you to it if Oxford didn't have a name that produces too many irrelevant Google results.

I use the Oxford 2004 Mini Sprint tank bag. Really strong magnets.
