Magnetic Tankbag Recommendations?

[Deleted member 9794]

I'm looking to buy one since I don't always want to ride with my backpack on and my cargo net tends to crush burgers and gyros. I don't need a mega 50 liter capacity bag, I'm not looking for touring luggage but I don't want a super small bag that'll barely fit my cellphone.

If it could hold a pair a size 13 shoes and 2 t-shirts I think it's about the right size. If it has a bladder that cool but not a necessary.

Recommend away and thanks in advance.

P.S. I'm open on pricing, if it's worth it, I'll buy it.

I've got the mototrek 14 litter. I like it a lot. Good size but doesn't get in the way. I barely notice it. It's big enough to fit a pair of sneakers and a few other small things. I was able to fit a pair of sneakers and a softball glove in mine, just barely though.

Motorcycle super store has them.

I picked up my tank bag from Cycle Gear when they were having a sale, I think I only paid $20-$25 for it. It was one of those "half price" sales they run from time to time. It works GREAT!! It is expandable and has six disc magnetics that keep it in place. I really like the clear pouch on top for holding/reading a map. It is kind of generic looking and has that "plain jane" look, but it functions well.

Love the manta bags, several Mfg's make them, I gots the little Joe Rocket one, but they make a Manta XL as well. Very strong magnets.

mini manta

I've got a Joe Rocket mini manta. It always surprises me with how much it holds. My favorite parts are the two clear front pouches that I use for the EZpass and my phone.

Another question about tank bags

Does anyone have any recommendations for magnetic tank bags that will hold a 15" Macbook pro (and I would prefer that it convert to a back pack)? I'm debating if I should get something like this

or if I should get a tank bag. For some background info, I'm going to be commuting roughly 80 miles to work each day and 80 back. I'll be taking the laptop and other misc stuff back and forth with me.

It's not magnetic, it's a Givi TankLock bag. Fabulous bag. On and off in a heartbeat, lots of room (expandable), and won't harm clearcoat like magnets can. Just need the corresponding tank flange (about $14).

This is what my husband has on his FJR - it might not be big enough for you, though, but it doubles as a back pack and he has been really happy with it. You can purchase a bladder for it. He's had it for about 3 years and it has held up very well.

I have/had the Joe Rocket Hammerhead. Great bag, but switched up to a GIVI T480. I needed more space, and wanted the tanklock feature. Get the magnets off the tank. It worked great but it left marks on the tank when pulling it off. No permanent marks on the tank, just not as clean as the tanklock system. I couldn't find a better price/size tanklock system. I've had the GIVI for 3 days now, and one trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Holding up very well, easy on, easy off. Easier to carry around with the handle. Getting gas is much easier too, quick release and move it, versus, pulling off 3 magnets and moving the Hammerhead.

Since it hasn't been listed yet, I'll throw in the Yamaha bag. It's compact in size, fits well, and is well made.

Bump & review

I got my motocentric tank bag today.Iv only ridden 50 miles with it so far, so I can't comment on durability.
But im extremely impressed.Its about the perfect size for our tank.At first I was worried my arms would rub, but somehow they dont at all.
Its to small for my size 13's (11 and down might fit).But its close.A pair of womens shoes will fit with enough room left to fit a beach towel, sunscreen, and still has the external pockets for a phone, wallet, glasses, etc.
The cell phone pocket is big enough to fit 2 smart phones in at the same time,The gps pocket was made for smaller gps's.But it does fit a large garmin to.It will zip shut, and hold it secure.Just to big for the elastic straps to wrap around.
The straps to turn it into a backpack are nice, padded ones.As long as it holds up well, im sure ill buy more from them in the future.
If you use electronics, it has front and rear cord entrances on the bags exterior + a hole for audio, with access holes into every compartment except the one for sunglasses.Perfect for one of the bikemaster triple dc outlets.
