Hi guys

I've done a quick search and couldnt find anything sPecific. I'm looking for a tank bag and/or rucksack for my bandit 600s.

Will be used for my commute, and perhaps useful for doing a bit of storage when touring (or can't you mix?)

Not looking to spend a fortune,but somethig hardwearing and waterproof(ish).


Thanks in advance!

Dan

Buy one backpack and one backpack ONLY and it will DO everything you ask of it!

Bagster do both magnetic and clip on, I had a mag one out of Aldi's which did the job and it was used not on a daily basis but for long trips ext, only problem is that you do have to wait for them to get them in (Aldi or Lydl). I've now gone for the Bagster as I got the tank cover for my bandit 12 and it's got the clips buit in a the magnets don't grip very well through the cover.

My issue with bagster is because the mouting locations are captive on the cover, there's not scope for movement. Ideally, I would want my bag as close to the headstock as possible so that it leaves more room for my arms and abs. Unfortunately, the bagster digs right into my gut when I'm in the crouch and fouls my arms when I'm leaning across the tank. Luckily the bag was free, and the cover was cheaper than a tank repair!

I don't know what size you're looking for but I have just picked up a Streetline from Hein Gericke for 19 quid down from (I think) 39.

Not a bad size and comes with a waterproof cover.

This one

Like you I mostly want it for the commute so is fine for me.
