RE: [ST] Tank bags

["Jeremy Witt" <jeremyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Marsee bag, my second.  I've not tried any others, but the Lifetime Guarantee of the Marsee has already proved itself worth it.  After 25k miles on the first bag, it started to unravel around the side pockets.  I sent it in for service and was given a new bag as they deemed the old one unrepairable.  The replacement was technically the same size, but less usable space, so I asked for an exchange for the next larger size...and got it.  I happily plugged Marsee on the Hawkgt list and cc'd Marsee and got a personal thank you from Mr. Marsee himself.

If you find a Marsee that fits your needs, worry not about it lasting!

Subject: [ST] Tank bags

Anyone have a recommendation for a good tank bag? I'm planning on a long
trip this summer and would like to have something that will hold my mp3
player as well as other sundries that I would like easy access to.
(Water bottle, shield cleaner, maps, rain gear, etc.) The website shows
a method of electrifying one but I would like to hack up a good one
rather than a POS that will fall apart after 1000 miles.

I used to carry my CD/mp3 player in a fanny pack but the player decided
to commit suicide on the Palisades Parkway last fall. I had stopped for
a bathroom break and when I got under way I realized that I hadn't
turned it back on. Shortly afterward it felt that it was being
neglected. It climbed out and jumped at 65+mph. I felt something hit my
left heel and wondered "What the heck was that?" No shoulder. Plenty of
cars. I would have to wait for an exit. A couple of miles down the road
I pulled off and discover the loss. I figured it wasn't worth going back
to locate the pieces.

Anyway. Tank bag recommendations?
