Title: Tank Bag Question
Post by: mikeb2411 on May 11, 2015, 11:31:32 AM: Hey everyone, I'm looking at adding a tank bag to my bike. I have been reading through the "threads of the past" and I don't want to :deadhorse: but for me it has come down to the "Firstgear Laguna", "Cortech 2.0" or "Motocentrics 19".

Know that I have the 2" up and 2" back risers on my bike and don't know if that comes into play with larger bags but I am hoping for some feedback on these bags from those of you that have tried/use them.

Tank bags are a difficult item to"pin down" so your input on this will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Mine has been the best bag I've owned yet

I use a pair of zip ties to loop it over the front stays on the tank. It is large but doesn't get in my way and I am running stock bars.
