I need a daily use bag for work, one that I can bring into the office with me. I stopped using a backpack because I'd get to the office early in the am with my shirt's back already soaked in sweat. In my previous bike I had a tank bag with quick-mount system that I took off when getting to work; that system does not work with the CB.
"EUREKA!! The CB has a metal tank, I can use a magnetic tank bag!" I thought. So I bought the Icon Urban Tank Bag. Nice bag, with a helmet carry feature and turns into a backpack is needed. Used it for 2 days and my Isabel's (my CB's name) beautiful black tank developed very ugly scratches
, even with the super care I took when sticking the magnets on it or taking the bag off. I even cleaned the contact points to avoid dirt particles acting as sand paper.
Yesterday, I polished the scratches off and returned the tankbag to Cycle Gear. I had the guys there order an Ogio Tail Bag that I will try as my briefcase. Will report when I get it and use it.
LESSONS LEARNED: Isabel's shiny beautiful tank is SACRED REAL ESTATE. The only minerals that will intentionally go close to it are my stones. No more magnets. I also may want to get the Tank Slapper.
