[ST] Canyon Dancer & Tank Bag

["Manuel Gonzalez" <mito_lawman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Tom and the others regarding the Canyon Dancer.  I used it once 
and it screwed up my grips so much that my Throttlemeister would no longer 
work properly.  After using it, I am concerned that further use as the sole 
method of securing my bike might damage my heated grips.  I now use regular 
tie downs and secure them to the lower fork support, triple clamp, whatever 
it's called.  I still use the Canyon Dancer as a back up (mainly because I 
already spent the money on it) only after I have secured the bike with the 
other tie downs first.

As for the Triumph Tank Bag, I love mine.  I have used it for over a year 
and have put it through the paces (including an accident).  It expands well, 
the rain cover works as advertised and is waterproof and the mounting system 
with the velcro on the bottom really comes in handy when you ride off 
without securing the plastic connecting clips.  The reflective material in 
the bag and on the emblems really works well.  Not to say that there aren't 
other really good tank bags, but the Triumph bag has pretty much every 
feature you need, some you don't, and a few you won't ever use, (like those 
little pouches with the cargo net on the sides of the bag, what the hell 
fits in there?)
BTW, I don't what part number it is, the dealer just gave me the familiar 
"this is the bag designed for the ST" speech when I bought it.
