By coincidence (or not) I'm currently talking with RKA to get a custom
tankbag color coordinated to the sapphire blue (RKA won't talk of
"matching" -- see their site for details).  They are sending me samples
of all 3 blues they have.  I'll let you know which is the best match.

I am looking at the 16L SuperSport as it collapses down to a compact
size and doesn't compromise the map pocket size as the Mini SuperSport
does.

Here's a link RKA sent me and some comments:
