Protecting a tank from a tank bag

[Glorian]

Can anyone recomend a way for my tankbag to not scratch my tank while attached? Was thinking a cloth or something but then will it hold on aswell and it's another think to carry with me.

Tips/suggestions welcome

I also feel tankbag shoulder answer this question...

Give the bottom of the bag a damn good brush down before sticking it on there

That non slip rubber matting stuff works well:

and as for "something else to carry around"... dare I suggest you have a handy bag with you? Failing that, stick it under the seat and don't forget and leave it there

Generally only carry the tankbag with me.

No space under the seat as theres no storage haha. Might just slip it in the top of the tankbag when not in use

That was kinda what I was getting at with "you have a bag with you" but I won't tell if you don't

Ah i'm such a dimwit haha!

I used some of that non-slip mat stuff.....bought a roll of it from the pound shop......can't remember what it cost though......

Glorian, what OhJay, Tango said cos its crucial there's no shit on your tank or on the underside of your tankbag, before a ride if I was starting from home I'd squirt off any dirt / dust from the tank & always brush the tankbag.

Tankbags are ace, we're going to train our Russell to go out on the bike but I can't decide if she's best in a customised tankbag or topbox.

Poor bloody dog getting face full of wind.

I personally would go with the top box
