+1 for Lidl - only problem I found is that it isn't waterproof and you needed to use the (provided) cover in heavy rain.

Then I bought a rack and top-box

This one;

Comes with a waterproof cover, I can carry my Nikon DSLR in it (with a peli-case foam insert) then keys, wallet and phone go in the thwo other outer pockets. Had it four years, no signs of wear.

No just some sarnies and of course the kitchen sink

Many suggestions and thanks guys.

BluePete the 440n looks interesting. Do you have any pics to hand of it on the SV? Or maybe a pic showing the Nikon sitting in it? I was worried the magnets would damage the camera but you have not seemed to have any problems.

I'll sort some pics tomorrow, It's weeing it down here!

Having used a magnetic tank bag on my Hornet over the years I've noticed I get loads of scratches on the top either side at the front. I think the problem with an unfaired bike is gravel and dust get blown under the front of the bag and then when you just pull it off it scratches the tank. Perhaps I just ought to be more careful removing it but I guess the whole idea of a mag bag is you can just whip it off, just something worth considering if you're very tank proud...

I use a oxford sport tankbag, with a lifetime garentee, well built but have to tape the tank everytime as it scratches

Oxford Sports very happy with it. Use that rubber matting stuff underneath you can buy for a pound.
