I've been really likeing the idea of a smaller lock on style tank bag but no one in the area carrys anything in stock and with the shape of the CBs tank I have my worries about clearance. Anyone have any pics of what they have on the CB
I'm open to possibly settling for a tail bag but bit fond of losing my ability to carry stuff if I have a gal on the back.
I can't quite figure our why my pictures seem to post upside down all the time! They're rightside up on my PC until i post. Oh well, grippy tires I guess.
Sorry no pics but just completed 1500 miles through France and Spain. Kriega US20 sat perfectly on the tail and a Givi 3d 601 tank bag fitted. With a very lightly loaded Kreiga R30 this was more than enough for 6 days (although only T shirts, shorts and flipflops).
The tankbag is superb, clicks on and off and has the phone cover in the top so you can use Sat Nav, highly recommended.
Here is my 20 liter Kriega pack. Ok...how do i attach a pic? It works great gor my work commute. I get my laptop, shoes, soft lunch box and has room for a pineapple in there. So nice yo get the backpack off my back. Love the bag and the attachment is quick and easy with the suppled straps you mount under the seat to create two tabs in front to combine with the existing rears.
Depending on what you want the tank bag for, I have an Icon Primer and love it. It attaches magnetically to the CB's tank no problem. It's tiny, but I wanted something that carried wallet, phone, house keys, a shell jacket and a small bottle of water for short rides, and the Primer is perfect. Super low profile, which I personally like. I scored mine on Ebay for $30 and couldn't be happier.
I use a tank lock bag and SW Motech panniers when on a long run. Works well, supplies lots of space, and both clip off very easily, importantly neither leave any marks on the bike.
I love the tank lock bags as they offer real useability.
I also use a cheap tail pack when out for the day, just clips over the rear seat and I can fit waterproofs/wallet/etc in it. Ugly, but handy.
Key for me is that the tank bag needs a pocket on the back-end, since I carry mu camera there and shoot while I ride. Very few tank bags have that feature.
I've also got a Joe Rocket Manta, which is good for short, casual outings.
