I was thinking of all the cool things I could carry around now; a bowling ball a gallon of milk or fuell 6-pack a half helmet spare boots lunch for the whole family... oh well! Also got the new lower seat, not too sure if it was worth the money, I still cant tippy-toe with both feet. (will that license plate work?) |

You could lock the throttle and use the bag as a pillow to sleep on... |

No, that's the only one. Kandie has one on her 9SL and it isn't in the way. |

Personaly I am a sucker for tank bags. Had one on my S3 and BMW GS. Bought one for the Uly too. Its a very close copy of the BMW version, which cost $350! I am not found of the water proof zippers Buell added as it makes it harder to open and close. But the design is about all you can ask for given the slope of the intake cover (tank) and all. For me the bag is not in the way and I can put heavy stuff in there to help keep the front end on the ground . Jim |

I have one on my Uly also. It doesn't hide any of the gauges,or get in the way what so ever. I removed the luggage and keep the tank pack on for daily usage. |

Personally after seeing one of the Buell tank bags I opted to put a Cortech tail bag on my Uly instead and really think I got the best of both worlds in terms of looks and utility... If I can figure out how to post one, I'll try and get a pic of it on the board just to help anyone else trying to make the same decision. |

I find the Buell air cover bag to be on the small side. On my ZX I had a big Tourmaster that would hold my big aluminum field notebook flat. All I can squeeze into the Buell bag is my softside cooler and maybe a camera. The field notebook has to go on the luggage rack with a helmet net. I'm not a big fan of the waterproof zippers, either, but I do like the little expansion sleeve. |

DANG! It looks like a giant boil growing out of the airbox. I LOVE my Nelson Rigg magnetic bag. It holds a liter of water, a bungee net, cables for my intercom, a map, an extra face shield, and a few extra things. I can also expand it a little by unzipping a zipper. Not expanded, it is maybe 5" tall at most. It's out of the way and doesn't look too bad. I mounted some high power magnets under the airbox cover, but haven't taked a trip long enough to try it yet. |
