Feel more confident on the bike with a tankbag?

[veeeffarr]

Hi,

Since I got my tankbag, I've been riding much more confidently... (Faster, filtering, etc)...

Why? I can't for the life of me figure it out, or is it just me being weird?

I'll go along with you on that..

My bike feels odd without it on, i have no pockets in my leathers so i ALWAYS ride with a tank bag, when its not on i feel odd.

I think i gives you the visual impression that your sat IN the bike as opposed to ON the bike when the bag is fitted.

(I think we're both weird)

I do too, it gives me something to lean on and now I dont have to take a bag with me gives me a bit more freedom around the bike

I dont feel comfortable when i've got a tankbag on. My yzf's has hardly any lock and feels top heavy enough as it is. When I fisrt used throwover panniers It felt great though. kept all the weight low down.

I noticed a similar thing when i rode with the front fairing removed. The bike felt skinnier and more exposed.

arent tank bags a bit of a pain each time u need to top up with petrol ? i think i might use one occasionally but dunno about all the time

Used a Tank bag on the XL125 to london once. It was good cos it had the clear window in the top where I had my Ipod and a map. oh and the phone. So I could look at them whilst riding if I needed to.

However, i felt more comfortable on the bike WITHOUT the tank bag.

Mine isn't a pain, it is clipped to a tank cover and hinges up at the head-stock and leans against my screen, piece of piss.

[Simple]

you've possibly confused Tank bag for Air bag....

which is a safety device, a tank bag is not.
