I'm looking for a tankbag larger than the one I have. Its okay for daytrips but won't hold all the things I take on multi-day trips plus the two cameras that I carry. I saw an ad for this one at Walmart and really liked the price but it doesn't say how large it is in liters. I figure I need at least 18L and prefer 20L. Anyone familiar with this one or do you have any suggestions?

Hi. I have this one. It can hold a great deal of stuff if you like. My wife has this one. It's quite small. She just uses it to carry her cell phone and wallet. Both have a magnetic mount. We are both happy with them.

I've got the Bags Connection DayBag and their City Bag. I got 'em both from Twisted Throttle. They use the same tank-lock connector and clear the handlebar-mounted switches for my Denalis and my heated handgrips.

The Tank Bag from Wal-Mart is quite good and fits on the NT-provided you cut the front ears with the magnets off and treat the fabric on the tank with a light going over with a lighter or hot knife. I have had mine for four years--two years on the Ninja.
The only wear is that it has faded slightly and the glassine in the corners is cracked--otherwise it is fine. It is the least expensive high quality bag I have seen. It is expandable and has a rain hood. I now use a bag I found in a closeout bin at a MC shop --brand: Fastrax. It has a bigger map pocket than the Wal Mart bag and does not have as many compartments.

I have the Walmart bag, and have not done any modifications to it. Stays where you put it, have good capacity and costs less than just about anything else out there.
