Tank Bags - What are you using? - skidmarkart_imp - 07-30-2016

Howdy All,

So, my Saddleman tail bag, which I love, seems to fit very nicely on my CB1100, BUT my tankbag, which was a strap-on (heh) model from my Buell, does not translate to the Honda. Thus, I am looking for a tank bag. Would love to hear what folks here like to use. I like a medium sized bag. Kind of a weekender type, not the RTW size. If you have any picts, that would be awesome. I'd like to pretend looks don't matter, but with this bike, I hate to spoil the lines Big Grin

I use Cortech tank and tail bags. I would consider the tank bag to be small, but suitable for day trips.

I like Cortech too, and have had good experience with them in the past. Funny, I had a nice one, but my last two bikes had plastic tanks, so I thought it was a waste to keep it. I should have known better Dodgy

For trips I switch out to a larger medium size Tourmaster magnetic bag

That is a great idea. As I was applying my strap bag, I was thinking... "God, I really do not want to screw up this tank. It's one of the bikes best features." I think it would be $15 well- spent.
