I have a K5 and use an oxford 1st tank bag and find the magnets are no good if you fill the tank bag up as you would for touring. There fine for a few bits and bobs but put weight in there and the magnets are just not strong enough to inspire any confidence in it staying in place.

I also have an oxford sports compact bag it seems to have much stronger magnets and comes with a strap which you can put around under the tank if you need it really secure.

Any thing bigger/longer than these two i found that they overhang the tank at the seat end and as you lean on the tank at speed you push the bag forward into the yoke and it can interfer with the steering.
