After a series of misadventures (missing parts with a Givi tankbag), wrong size with a Bags Connection Engage Sport (totally my fault), I finally ordered and received to day a Bags Connection City bag today.
It is the bag for me. It's just a tiny bit too big (or my stomach is just bit too big, one or the other), but it's going to be what I've been wanting. And, if you're wondering, I can see the GPS over the top of the bag with no problem. The map case will make me stretch just a bit, but won't be an issue.
Only problem is that, once again, my order came missing a part. In fact, both Bags Connection bags were missing the same part. There is a lanyard (you can see my farkle farkle in the first picture, a classy cotton twine cord from the release pin tied to the handle of the bag). There is supposed to be a lanyard with a red tag which says "Pull" there. Mine may be just as good. We'll see; supposedly Twisted Throttle is sending me a replacement tomorrow. When I get everything I'm supposed to have, I'll send them the Givi and the Engage Sport back. If I had sent the Engage Sport back, I'd have been out of luck because the City came without the part of the mount that attaches to the tank.
Oh, BTW, I'll take pictures of the the mounting apparatus sometime soon.
I also got the map pocket which is plenty big to hold two panels across of one of the waterproof Rand McNally Maps that Igo told us about. Here are some pictures:
