I use the Cortech 21 litre Tank Bag. It's a 2 piece modular unit that lets you tailor the capacity to meet your needs. 1. I use the top section only for half day outings. 2. Use just the lower section for over night trips. 3. Use both sections together for long touring trips. http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/product.php?produc tid=144&cat=31 |

Krav, have you experienced any turbulence around your head when you ride with the tank bag? I find I feel my helmet getting pushed up on my forehead when I have the tank bag on. Same riding position, same tension on my chin strap, just feel my helmet getting pushed back into my forehead and a lot of turbulence at the bottom. |

Yes, its on my 1125, I haven't experienced any extra turbulence, and it seems to work really well. I haven't went on any roadtrips yet, so I haven't really tried to pack it full yet. So far though, I think its been a great buy. I don't have to lug around a stupid backpack. It fits pretty snug too! |
