Magnetic tank bags?
 
Has anyone used this tank bag?

and if not do you have any recommendations.

At least it appears semi-aerodynamic. I had a Chase Harper mag bag that was rectangular in shape and ugly as heck. But it was very functional and a great chest-rest. I also had saddlebags, but they interfered with the MiG high mounts. A tail bag works well too.

Even if it LOOKS aerodynamic, it is sitting in a still air pocket anyway, so it wont help aerodynamicly. I've always used my favorite backpack with magnets sewn on inside rubber. It is a great chest rest on trips, you just pack it with clothes.

well i have the cortech tail pack and i wanted something little more.

someone was telling me if you don't one that really fits on your bike then it will scratch the hell at of the tank.

Might be a tad expensive for you to import, but I thoroughly recommend the Baglux system from the UK. Very secure and convenient

I use a Tour Master one. Just don't set your bag down on the ground. It will get dirty and scratch the tank. I always rub the bottom of the bag just prior to putting it on the tank. No scratches.

okay, thanks for the info.

+1 on what motojoe said, dust off the tank as well. I've used a magnetic Tourmaster for 5 years now. Before that I used strap on tank bags since 1982. No scratches.

Yup, and I never jerk mine off the tank in a lateral direction. I glab the mag flaps and pull up. I've been really happy with mine. It was a gimme when I bought the Superhawk but works great on the VFR as well.

Cortech and Tour Master are good stuff. I also think Nelson-Rig has a tail bag/Saddlebag/Tank Bag combo. The Saddlebags will fit high-mounts.

I went back to the catalog to check the info above. Cortech has a rear set of saddles/tail for sportbikes, comes in solid red, blue or black. N-R has a set called the Silver Streak which is black bag with a silver bolt across it, comes in a set of tank,saddles/tail - WILL work with high-mounts.

Just bought the tank bag from the link at the top... It's awesome, it has some really cool features like, it can turn it to a back pack, it has a lot of pockets for all of your goodies and also a spot to put a hydro pack.

I'm very happy with my tank pack!!!! :)

+1 on the Tour Master. Its not pretty but its very functional. I'm a Function-over-Form kinda guy though. Not sure which model mine is as I bought it pratically new from a coworker for next to nothing since it didn't fit his bikes tank. If I expand it I think I could stuff a watermelon in it :D.
