    Default Tank Bag

    I'm thinking about buying the Can Am tank bag for some extra storage on an upcoming trip to Florida. My question is will the tank bag obstruct my view of the GPS on my ST Limited?

    Better be sure it will even fit the ST. It was designed and made for the RS, and the ST is somewhat different in the console area.

    Default I was looking at that.

    BRP does not make a tank bag for the ST. I looked at recycling my Nelson Rigg bag from my GS and it was definitely too big. If you find something that works, please post pictures.

    The RS tank bag...neither Can-am or Nelson-Riggs will fit...makes no sense...but there is empty space under the area...why didn't Can-am put in a glove box or something......perhaps a magnetic bag would work...I need to find something

    I was looking at this:

    ...and stick some magnets or big washers under the center plastic. It's 7" x 5" x 3.5" and I think the base is flexible enough to deal with the shape.

    And it's cheap

    They also sell a cheaper version with no mounting system

    Default Maybe this one

    Maybe this RT one could be made to work. Instead of strapping around the glove box lid, disconnect the rear of the center panel and slide it overtop.

    Not a big fan of "sticking" anything on any of my bikes (i.e. velcro, etc.)

    Oh I hear ya.

    What I meant was remove the center console panel and glue some large washers to the underside where you won't see them. The magnets should be strong enough to hold through the plastic there. It's been done on RS's, don't see why it wouldn't work on an ST.

    Guess I'll find out and order one
