Who has pics of your magnetic tank bag???

I want a MEDIUM size magnetic tank bag. By medium I mean anything bigger than the Cortech supermini tankbag, which I already have (and will get rid of -strap version), and is too small. In addition, medium for me means it's NOT noticeable while riding. And yes, it's even better if it's expandable, since it provides for 'emergency' stashing, but as long as it's not noticeable in unexpanded position.

Oh, and I want the best value, since I don't have deep pockets < he he>. And will be only used on trips. And yes again: if it goes better with the bike's lines, all the better.

Thanks gang.

How much are you gonna want for your supermini?

Check out the joe rocket "Manta XL Tank Bag". Not to small, not to big and fit the bikes tank lines.

PS: bought mine from "New Enough". [newenoughhp.com]

Don't know how much you want to spend, but I really like the Wolfman Tank bag at https://www.wolfmanluggage.com/Tank/TimberwolfMag.html. Great pockets, large map window and expandable, plus other accessories. Best one I have owned.

Andre, PM sent on my bag.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Looks like I can buy a very nice magnetic tank bag for about $60 (+ s/h). Can't believe how cheap they're now, but guess is all good for the consumer... but not that good for US workers :dribble: . Thanks again. Leaving on vacation for a week, so will be inactive for a while. Take care.

I have this one from Cycle Gear. I have been very happy with it and it fits nice on the FJR.

Here's the only pic i can find with it on my bike:

I have that same Nelson Rigg bag on my FJR:

I just picked up another one for my dad for father's day from New Enough - I think it was between $35 and $40

Rapid Transit Recon 19(?) w/ water bladder from new enough.

Was on vacation; sorry. Thanks for the replies folks; really appreciate it.

Will take the bike to the mountains to make sure it's a keeper (no severe stumbling, etc), then spend on the 'farkles'. Thanks again.

Sorry, been away for a bit, I got the Yamaha one. Forget the exact name of it, got it 2 years ago, probably still around.

It's pretty good, has some good pockets. The one thing I might look for next is one with backpack straps, this one just has the shoulder one.

Magnetic, holds fine, fits fine. Expandable as well in case you buy stuff while your out.

See, you can barely see it.... what a profile!

Another vote for Rapid Transit. Good bag. Good quality. Reasonable price. It doesn't block the view of the gauges while riding. It follows the tank lines pretty well.

I have a Tourmaster Cortech, Mini-Magnetic tank bag...it's about 2x the size of the Super-Mini when expanded. Has a map window and a few pockets on the inside. I only use it during longer trips...the photos below were taken during a trip through the Alps...

Edit...Well, since posting pictures on this site is not working for me...follow the link if you want to view the images...

I've had a Roadgear mag tank bag for about ten years and used it on lots of bikes. Works fine and a nice compromise between bulk and capacity. Velcro is a bit worn, but otherwise has held up well.

There is one place I know you can get it.

FJR Goodies web site.

I like the MARSEE 20 liter bag. It looks alot like the Euor Yamaha with a curved bottom to follow the tiank. Comes in Magnetic and strap-on!
