Re: [ST] accessories

Matt,

I had bought the smaller of the two Triumph tanks bags and I found it to be 
HUGE!  In fact, it was way too big for me to ride the bike 
comfortably.  I'm only 5'6" so I already have little bit of a reach to the 
bars and the bag didn't help any.  I wound up leaning on the bag all the 
time and actually my chest got a little sore from the constant 
contact.  And to top it off it ripped.  The seam on one of the zippers 
separated on the 3rd day of a nine day trip.  Luckily it comes with a rain 
cover so my cameras didn't get wet.  I have since returned it and will 
probably get a Marsee instead.  I use one on my Hawk and FZR and it's 
great.  Unfortunately it's a magnetic mount so it won't work on the 
ST.   Here's the one I'm looking at.

YMMV.
