MAGNETIC Tank Bag survey

[Wanda P.]

I use a Nelson Rigg, but, it is non-magnetic. I sometimes stick my wallet in the tank bag and would not want to worry about my credit cards.

I'd look for a bag that has magnets in the bottom of the bag rather than 'wings" like my little tank bag. The steel part of the tank area is only so wide.

Nelson-Rigg is also what I use because of "magnet-phobia". Once had a purse with magnets that ruined ALL my credit and ATM cards. Only takes once for that to happen.

i have a first gear magnetic on my NT (still have it and use it sometimes on the Explorer). I liked it better than my former motocentric 14L because I felt that one was to owide. The first gear one is expandable to become taller. There are pics of it on my NT in this thread:

I'm sorry, Phil.
My bad

Hey, Clay, you don't need to apologize. I kind of figured you might be kidding, and even if you weren't, I was! I understand wanting to carry a bag that'll let you carry as much as possible. Good luck!

If you want to carry as much as possible take a look at adding "tank panniers" that hang down on the sides of the gas tank. Those add a lot of capacity in a "wasted space" area. Here is an example from Wolfman. I've seen some fancy sets that allow you to clip the tank panniers on to the main tank bag.

Eldon Cannon (EX-WINGER) has carried a set of Aerostitch's tank panniers on his NT.

I really like that Cortech super 2.0 18L, but I am really leaning towrds the Firstgear Onyx expandable...If the magnet orientation works for an NT, it will do 25 liters when expanded and costs much less than the Cortech

I am a big fan of the Motocentric 19L, but no sure .

A i said before, I may order 2-3 bags and keep the one that works best

I'd like to see a pic of that.

The "El Cheapo" WalMart tank bag arrived saturday. Magnets stick like glue, volume of the bag looks adequate for anything I might be carrying. Appears to be made well, plenty of bells and whistles. Another satisfied customer.

I am a bit late to this thread but............. Cortech Mini. Works good last a long time. Less than 100 bucks and stays put. Disclaimer.. Always use the safety strap. And I also use the same bag on my Wee STrom, and my ST1300.
