C14 Tank bags (Chase Harper)

[stevewfl]

I was a die-hard CORTECH fan, just bought a top of the line Chase Harper and just can't beleive I had been closeminded to anything other than CORTECH. This thing is incredible. Build quality, zipper quality, map pouch options, expandability is simple, looks great, and the magnets STICK so hard it almost concerns me.

That is all

I have the 650 and it is a great bag.

jamie no pics of it on bike (yet), but this is the one I got. I was forced to use or lose some sky miles and my CORTECH was falling apart

Is it magnet mount only? Do any straps come with it for mounting? I really do need to concider cetting moe cargo space. Please do post pics on the bike when possible.

That is pretty nice! The shoulder strap is a nice addition. Looks handy.

Yes it has a strap on the front that goes to the tree and even unclicks with a squeeze.  BUT....the magnets are so strong mine will never use that strap. I could rear end the vehicle in front of me and it wouldn't let go.

Thanks, yeah the shoulder strap I was surprised isn't cheassy, its padded and looks like I may even used it. I curled it up and put it in one of the side pouches. When I go up to Maine for a wee bite of lobster next month I hope this bag gets a work out

I leave my bike a lot, so I'd be afraid someone would steel it if I only used the magnets.
Thanks for the info.

I've got a Dowco Faxtrax Sport Elite Tank Bag that works really well with my 2009 C14. (Found here: http://www.dowcopowersports.com/Brands/Fastrax/FastraxregUniversalSportLuggage/FastraxEliteProductDetail/tabid/177/ProductID/371/Default.aspx)

I love my Chase Harper tank bag, and it's way old, as in before they invented magnets old!  Still works like new, and it's always with one of the bikes (either on a tank or in one of the bags or trunks).  It's good to hear they still make a quality product.

Steve, be careful where you set it down, as those strong magnets will attract metal filings and that's not good for the painted gas tank finish.  Otherwise, I'm sure that bag will outlast your connie, and maybe even you.
