I have a tank bag that I used on my Sportster and it was very useful. However, the bag mounts magnetically, so I guess you can see the problem with mounting it on my F3. I am assuming that I could sew some straps to the bottom and run them underneath then use velcro to connect the straps to the bottom of the bag. Before I go to far with this idea, I am wondering what others may have done. The bag is almost brand new, so I don't want to scrap it and buy another one. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
There comes a time in life when you really want to stay in the wind, but single-track vehicles are no longer a practical or safe solution. The Can AM Spyder is a wonderful answer to a difficult situation.
Most tank bags already have "D" rings sewn in place, use them & some camping straps & or some Velcro straps.
Can also add some quick detach clips to either end
If not happy with placement, you might find a good trade with some one in opposite situation

One strap up front around the lower part of the steering head; another up the back dropping down between the seat & the glovebox/pie warmer then around the main frame spar, & voila, there's a tank bag on an RT that you can fit all sorts of things into, so I'm sure you could readily do something similar on an F3!
THAT'S WHAT I DID.....
i added a length of 1" nylon straps to the existing straps, and looped it down under the gas tank... works fine... 20170221_183841.jpg20170221_183913.jpg

Since the bag is designed to be attached magnetically, there are no "D" rings present. Whatever I attach will be sewn or attached with velcro. Finding somebody willing to trade is a great idea but not likely. Anybody out there that wants to do that?
