Does anyone use SW Motech tank bags?  If so, what are your thoughts please.  I'm looking at a Sport Evo.

Wow Joe, that's an expensive tank bag !!!!

Not sure if you get them in the USA, but we use Oxford Products Sports Tank Bags. They have a magnetic base flap that works perfectly on the FJ (but does come with a strap system for plastic tank bikes - I use the strap mount with the bag on my Aprilia RSV), they also have an expandable main section, together with an additional mid-section that can be zipped in or out between the top one and the base. There are 2 longitudinal pockets on the sides and a zip-off rear pocket that's handy for wallets/phones, as well as a clear top map pocket and rain cover. The tank bag also has attached straps that mean it can be carried as a ruck-sack. They're brilliant and less than half the price of the SW bag, if you can get them there.

You can just see it in "2 level" format in this picture



And in "1 level" format on both bikes in this picture



Maybe worth a look if you can get them there ?

I have something similar in looks, with magnets, and works fantastic.

I use this. A bargain at $120, comes with a rain cover (rarely needed, only in a downpour). Expands taller with circumferential zipper at the base. Backpack straps built in. I use the magnetic base without the straps. Also shown are push-thru holes for charger cord so your phone can stay inside the bag out of the heat.

Very durable as well. I've had mine for close to a decade. Not one single issue. Still as good as new. It even survived the bike that burned. Wouldn't have if I was using the straps to mount it.

That's what all the whine & cheese, real race car drivers use... :bomb:

Now, if they only made one big enough for a porshe 911 roof since the trunk is full of a gas tank :mocking:

Mr. ZOA NOM,

I once asked the same question: BEWARE not only is there no discount, there is a surcharge (!) for suffering the aforementioned abuse...!

(Please note - I am not taking sides, just relating my experience...)
