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?

Re: Tank bag which allows access to fuel filler
 

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:

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!

The one I got from lidl 2 years ago is great... and it was 15 quid.

Re: Tank bag which allows access to fuel filler
 

is there a link for these infamous lidl/aldi tank bags - their websites are dreadful...?!

Re: Tank bag which allows access to fuel filler
 

Which design are you referring to?
