Magnetic Tank Bags ??

[Gwolf]

Will a magnetic tank bag stick well enough to stay on the newer Spyders that have the plastic covers over the fuel tank?

Appreciate some guidance from anybody that has tried one.

Not unless someone has invented magnetic plastic.

Not going to stick to any Spyder, new or old.

There must be metal under the plastic. Didn't much think the tank bags would stick. I tried some magnets on it and they would not even try to hold, but didn't know if they was as strong as the tank bags.

I will just get the ones with the straps. No Problem.

Appreciate the information and thanks!

Actually IMHO the MAGNET idea can work ......you would have to attach a metal plate to the underside of the LID ( the thicker the better the magnets will perform ) .... There are some N-50 ( neobendium ) that are small but very strong...... Mike

No need, it is on there now. The straps are really more secure than just the magnetic mounts. Somebody really wants to take something, you can't stop them, but you can make it hard enough it probably wouldn't be worth doing.

Go to Cycle Gear and get a tank bag with straps, others have posted photos for you to see
that will work that is what I use.
