Givi makes a few pretty cool ones that mount to your fuel cap somehow. It looks like it makes no contact with a painted surface. Pretty slick, comes in a few sizes/configurations.

You have to screw a bracket onto the ring around the fuel cap. The downsite is that the bracket stays in place even when the bag is removed. SW-Motech/Bags Connection have a similar solution. Works very nicely, but the attachment bracket is always permanently installed and doesn't look all that great.

'Rapid Transit Outpost Tank Bag', world's tinniest tank bag.


I put garage door opener, cell phone, money, cards, and spare contacts in there and it's stuffed. Looks like everyone is out at the moment, though, on backorder. It fits in the depression in front of gixxer tank perfectly.

I use a Manta for bigger stuff, and a tail bag for longer trips, good to have different options.

I have the small Joe ROcket, I think its called the Manta. Holds more than you think and the magnets work great at any speed.

They are slick...

I have the T489 TankLock bag (from Givi). Pops on and off like a breeze, no magnets to harm the clearcoat, expands, perfect size.

You need a mounting flange with it, which is specific to the bike. It replaces a couple of the screws from the flange around the gas cap, and screws in very inconspicuously. Once in, it's great... makes removal for fill-up a breeze, as well...

I have that same tailbag. I need to repair the elastic material as it has started coming apart at the seam. It does expand nicely to hold a lot of stuff and zips down out of the way when empty.

I really like the look of that new Cortech Tankbag. It is somewhat modular and you can buy a map/gps pocket to mount on top of it. It also secures via a gas tank ring.

Though a Motocentric tankbag isnt bad also. I might consider one of them being that I like their sport tail/saddle bags.

I have the Joe Rocket Hammerhead tank bag, it's the prefect size for an FZ6R tank. I used it on a 6 day, 4049km trip last June and it kept my sunglasses, a couple of monster energy drinks, a few bars, keys, point-and-shoot camera, wallet, GPS, phone, USB wall charger and charging cords. It has a built-in waterproof cover as well, that you pull out from a pocket in the front. I very pleased with it and I would definitely recommend it.
