yaaan Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Can anyone reccomend good tank bags? I currently have a Baglux tank cover and tank bag which ar pretty good but they are for my Speed 4 and won't fit my Morinin when it arrives (so if anyone wants a blue tank cover and bag for a Speed 4 let me know ). Baglux don't appear to manufacture anything for Morinis yet so I guess I'm back to magnetic bags, although I'm a little hesitant to stick anything on my shiny new tank....don't want to scratch it Anyone have any thoughts or reccomendations?

Guest philgale Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 tank bags have a habit of scratching....best bet is to get a cargo net and strap a bag to the pillion seat Quote

Fozzie Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I recommend Oxford Sprint luggage holders. They have some that can attach to the tank and even better some that attach to the pillion seat. They are a good size and don't get in the way. You can also add sections to a rear bag as well just in case your going on a big trip. I used one and they come with a headphone port so the radio was in the bag and i was talking to my dad without the lumpy radio in my pocket that made lying flat on the tank at speed really uncomfortable.

Guest Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 i've a tank bag from aldi. been great. no scratches yet, but i may cut down on using it if thats the case. Quote
queen bodecia Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I have a tiny tank bag from M&P. Tiny because of the boob/tank interface problem...It seems to do the job OK though and only cost £30 about 12 years ago... Quote
Hoody Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Try SW Motech - they are available through Hein Gericke.The bag is like a hard shell with a fixing system on the bottom.This clipsonto a fitting that fits onto the petrol filler surround. Keeps the bag off the tank, easy removal for refuelling and sturdy.http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/Hoody_photo/daypack2.jpg Quote
Keithg24 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 If you buy a tailback and ride the bike backwards, you can still see your map..........Simple really!! Quote
Guest philgale Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I recommend Oxford Sprint luggage holders. the only tank bag i use is this one, fits my camera phones and wallet in perfectly...just make sure its free from grit and general crap before i put it on...http://www.bitzforbikes.co.uk/photo/OF685.JPG Quote
yaaan Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 If you buy a tailback and ride the bike backwards, you can still see your map..........Simple really!! Dammit...the solution was so simple! Why didn't I think of that Like the look of the SW Motech and the Oxford ones. I'll have to go see what I can find at the weekend Thanks all! Quote

I suspect this won't be an issue for me But if I'd had a bit of foresight and bought one a decade ago I could have saved myself loads of money Quote
