Tankbags?

[oldgoat01_imp]

I'm happier with my H-B panniers than I thought I would be. They look nice enough and I've been surprised by the capacity. However, I've always had a tank bag as well as panniers. You just can't beat the utility and convenience of a tank bag. Once again you run into the aesthetic versus function issue. Some look like a large amorphous black canvas blob rising over the tank to a height of 3 feet (who needs wind protection). Others are slick aerodynamic plastic, graphite finish containers which make a great fashion statement but are able to hold nothing more than a phone. While I prefer smaller ones, I need something capable of holding a 16oz water bottle, wallet, phone and a few odds and ends, nothing more. So, oh great and all-knowing forum, tell me (better yet show me) what you are doing or cogitating for a tank bag?

You talkin' to me? YOU talking to ME?

This tank bag is the Large Griso Tank Bag, found out it will fit the Honda with some encouragement.
It's not ideal (but wonderful on the Griso) so I'll be looking some more.

Good night, what's that puppy hold? Two cases or Three?

Ha..perfect timing. I just bought my 4th tank bag today and posted about it in the right saddlebags thread. Here are the 3 tank bags I use on the CB

The new one.. Tourmaster Select 14 liter magnetic ... Medium capacity




Nelson Rigg I think this one is in the 20 liter category... magnetic ... Large capacity

Cortech Mini 8 1/2 liter ( I believe) magnetic ... Small capacity

This is a little fella I bought until the large guy showed up. Seems to fit nicely but the capacity is limited.

And your view from the seat.
In the first shot, if you look very carefully you can see the new case savers too (currently untested).
