Re: [St] New spec for 2008 1050 ST--tank bags

[Todd J <me_shucker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have used strap equipped bags for my bikes also (Eclipse) and now the Triumph branded one on my 01. I like the Triumph bag. I have a couple of complaints: I want more features on the inside to keep things orderly, I wish those side "pockets" were useable, and I would have liked to have the mesh on the inside of the lid be closable. But I do like the removable map case that velcros to the mounting pad. I use that every time I ride. 
   
  I would like to find something that uses the same velcro mounting platform as the Triumph one that is just big enough to hold a few things (camera, glasses, phone).
   
  I saw recently that someone was clearing out RKA bags. I also saw that Sargent (the seat company) was clearing out their bags. I will see if I can find those linkies.

  Speaking of plastic tanks, what are you all using for tank bags if you 
use them at all? What works well, what doesn't? I've heard horror 
stories about strap-on tank bags and then I went and bought a bike 
with a plastic tank.... dang! :-(
