Picked up an Alpinestars areo tech tank bag today.

Happy with it on a 60 mile ride today on my 05 RSTD.

Yamaha makes a tank bag designed for the RSV.

I've got an older Rigg Nelson magnetic with a map pocket on top. Works well for me...

That's an interesting bag. Does the height of it not get in your way?

I just use the same Joe Rocket Manta I used on my sport bike.

No, it's not as tall as it looks. Fits perfect, and has great magnets. They don't move at 100 mph

Don't get me wrong, they are a neat idea and all..

 

But I do find it funny having to use such a bag when you have a large touring bike with lots of cargo space =)

All this talk of a tank bag has me thinking I should get one myself.

Riding two up for a weekend trip, sometimes I need just a little more space... not enough to bring the trailer, but more than the 3 storage compartments can hold and with a butt on the back seat I can't put anything there.

Now you know why I travel alone.. (that and the fact the missus HATES my mistress

 

I typically have the 3 trunks full, a bag on the back rack and another on the rear seat.. Some road trips takes us through the rain snow and hail.. so you have to pack for everything.. sigh... But this year, leaving around the 17th May, I'm going light.. if I freeze.. OH WELL.. lol.. well Ok.. maybe not..

I use a tank bag on long trips, put the wife's cell, my billfold, extra gloves, cell phone chargers, just easier to get to things without going into the side bags and trunk. Besides hate sitting on the billfold.

Solo I don't use it,, but two up, right bag is all the riding gear I'm not wearing, tools and a pair of tennis shoes. Left bag is all the riding gear my wife is not wearing, her purse, and a pair of tennis shoes. The trunk is full of my clothes, and the rack bag is full or her clothes and toiletries. So the tank bag gets to hold camera and other things you need to get to at stops. The Manta is a pretty small tank bag, about half the size of a small back pack, and has a shoulder strap. I just carry the tank bag with me when we stop somewhere so I don't have to watch it.

Motorcycle Super Store has quite the selection. I'll check them out some more.
