I use magnetic tank bags. Work great. Have never had one blowoff. Just need to make sure bottom and magnet area is clean when you lay iton tank. Never set tank bag on ground.

Hey again!
Thanks Ferret for the great answer. I looked at the tourmaster website and it seems they don't have a reseller here in the EU unfortunately. But they do seem to do great bags I must say. The "select" are on the way out (it seems) so they're on sale now, but the Elite saddlebags also look great. They are a bit bigger which is good I guess, but with them I would have to move the turn signals backward which is a bummer. I don't want to do that if it's possible to avoid...

Cheers!

RE: Saddlebags
I use no-name pu leather saddle bags from eBay and a saddlemen tunnel bag on the passenger seat. No mods required. The tunnel bag is for commuting to work and comes inside with me.

Here’s how it sits without the tunnel bag.

That's a nice set up Funfactor, do you use any kind of brackets to stop them tucking in ?
