    holds my ear-plugs, Zip-Loks for GPS & Phone, biz cards, pen, etc etc etc... not too big, not too small - just right...
    4 of us in our group now have this bag, and we all love it...

    Default Little checking..

    check with Nelson Riggs or Kuryakyn....they usually have universal fitting bags. Have not tried but looks like the nelson I have would work....

    That looks like its going to scratch the hell out of the tank. Vibration, dust, dirt and time will reduce the plastic surface to fugly in short order. My thoughts

    I have the small Givi Tank Bag, using the Tank Lock system, you use the tank ring for an Aprilla and fit it upside down so that your fuel cap will still open.
    It was a bit of messing around, with some, or maybe a lot of trial and error. I had to add a spacer to the ring to stop the bag from touching the bike as it has 2 raised bits by the tank cap. and also relocated the locking ring on the bottom of the bag, as it was too difficult to get the key in and out with it in place. It sounds like a lot of messing around, but with some prior info it wont be so bad.
    It is perfect for carrying all the small bits like Glasses case, phone, Ipod, small cloth for cleaning etc,
    I will try to get some pics for you when I get home.

    Go by your local Wally Mart and checkout the fanny packs in the purse section and the sports
    section. I use one from the sports section that holds two water bottles and zippered compartment
    for $10.00. that can be mounted to your tank or sissy bar.

    I find an RKA mini tank bag works just fine on my F3-S. Here's a pic of that bag on a conventional motorcycle. The bags they make are expandable, have a removable map case, ports for your electrical connections to enter/exit, rain covers, a silver interior to make it easier to find all your black accessory items inside, and lots of other useful features. Made by genuine motorcycle enthusiasts in the USA, meaning you can send it back to real people for repairs or spare parts if that need should ever arise.
