Okay, I felt guilty so I took a few pics to share. If you are familiar with the older XB tank bag, you will know the general look and feel of this one as it is not a whole lot different. It is black; not that queer grayish color and it has more pockets.

Does anyone make a tank bag that is smaller? I only need to hold a few tools and my gate and garage door openers. I don't want something that huge on there all the time. It would be great for trips, but way too much for commuting to work. Thanks, Joel |

Just picked up mine today, AND my '07 seat . And I had just dropped in to see whether my Traction grips had arrived! This surprised me since I had canceled my original order for the standard tank bag a few weeks ago after a 3-month wait, and I figured Buell would be using all the '07 seats available for new production. Although the bag is a little smaller than I expected it is better than I expected. I will post in a minute though my frustration over Buell accessories that don't fit... Overall though I'm very pleased with it. ![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/biggrin2.gif) |

Kidding by the way! I use this one for smaller items:

Cortech makes a small strap-on TB for about $55. Though, this one is comfortable enough to ride with I won't mind commuting with it. |

Joel, If you are looking for a smaller bag, you might want to check out the Chase Harper 750 Compact (Compac). I have one, and I wrote about it in response to a Thread at AdvRider. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159725 Have Fun! |

Lowflyer, Is that the 276C or the 376C? I am looking for a GPS and was wondering about how folks liked that model. |

It's an experimental model based on the 196. People love the 276 and 376. (Message edited by lowflyer on August 20, 2006) |

Just back from a five day 1200+ mile trip with 300 more planned tomorrow.. the tank bag is the ticket. what a great addition.. well thought out ...I didn't have to open the side cases at all during the journey.. I would rather stub my toe on furniture than run the risk of breaking another latch(which i did before leaving the cabin).. the removable compartment walls are great..changed configuration a few times .. ended up with a 2L dromedary bag in it 3/4 full with plenty of room to spare.. one thing happened though.. two of the 'snap-tite' grommets failed.. its no biggie but i will call tomorrow and see if i can get a handful of them mailed to me...I damm sure won't give that bag up though... Good job Eric.} |

Zumo is good too. It's designed specifically for motorcycling. It even comes with a Ram Mount. I like the x96-series because I can take it from the car to the bike to the boat to the airplane. It works equally well in all applications. (Message edited by lowflyer on August 24, 2006) |
