Any ideas

Last year bought a First Gear- Laguna Mini Hard Tank Bag. Mainly to carry GPS, Radar dector , misc it has mangets or suck cups. Have used it to transfere above stuff from bike to bike. I use the suck cups because my 87 Venture and V-Max's no metal. Good view of GPS and not so big in front of you. Use it on my Wide Gilde too. Got it at Competition Accessories for $62.96 US. 800-543-8208.

Personaly I have a Tour Master double bag. What I meen is it has an upper bag large and a top smaller bag. Both have map pockets and are relativley water proof. It does have a cover that goes over it but I have been in a couple of deluges and nothing has gotten wet. Down side they dont make the exact same bag anymore. Mine looks very simular to this. http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4882622725358559&pid=15.1Very good bag for me but even the smal one can almost hold a pair of rain gear. Personaly I like the magnetic hold type but a buddy of mine got a magnetic bag from Cycle gear and it only had a couple of magnets (4) about 1" to maybe 1.5" round. He says it dontl ike to satay put real well shich is why I guess it came with a strap to help secure it. Size wise he like his. Wallet, camera, extra glasses phone pair of gloves, gum that kind of stuff fits well without being over sized.

This bag looks to be pretty well priced and decent sized, best part is if you need the space it is expandable. http://motor.cyclegear.com/thumb.php?s=150&f=http://www.cyclegear.com/_static/webUpload/731/2_web1001061_60116_2.jpgDimensions: 12.5" L x 8" W x 5" H

Expands to: 12.5" L x 8" W x 8" H Happy hunting. Be sure and check out craigs list around your area, especially this time of year folks cleaning closets out etc. I picked mine up for cheap. My bag was over $180 new. When I got it it was 2-3yr old in VGC, I paid under $40. There is alos some good "make it cheap" ideas floating around on making one if you look

I've use this Nelson Rigg and it's just the right size and doesn't interfere with the handlebars

I have a Joe Rocket tank bag, magnetic mount works well for binoculars camera and sun glASSES not room for much else, also has two small pockets on top with clear plastic for cell phone and gps. Unfortunately it isn't waterproof. It does come with a rain resistant bonnet, which really does not offer much protection. If you are putting it on a venture it will keep things dry wven in a pretty good rain....untill you stop.
