[SuZuki10]

Are you serious?....this thread is destined to land in the tard farm with a question like that! :lol:

Holy mother of christ, what have I done?

[a-train]

best accessory besides the v&h pipe?  definitely gonna say my under armour cold weather tight shirt... it's comfortable and wouldn't let me feel the cold at all, and i could wear it under my nice pimpin' shirts for my nights out.... since i bought it for workin out, it cost nothing (well, as a bike accessory at least)... i haven't ridden in the summer yet (because i broke it) so who knows how the sweat-proof one works...

Tank bag and cargo net.

My tank bag has side pockets that work great for the garage door opener and the small piece of wood that goes under the kickstand.  The rain gear, work pants and other sundry gear go inside.  On the weekends the map pocket gets used the most.

The cargo net holds my lunchbox.... very important.

My backpack and belly pack, that is strapped to the seat.  

As far as hauling stuff I went to Lowes to get the wiring for my hot tub and this is what was in my back pack........   50 ft of 10-3 outdoor wire, 50 amp GFI breaker in it's own metal box, 2 64 oz bottles of bamboo torch fuel, and some other new breakers for my electrical box.   By far that is the most weight I have carried on my back.   The wire alone felt like I had a ompa lompa on my back.

I agree, the bungee net is one of the greatest things ever invented:



I bought mine for about $1 on eBay (plus $2 or $3 s/h).  :mrgreen:

Throttle lock.

Yea!  :lol:  :lol:

Those little suckers are heavy  :lol:  :lol:

Can't decide between tank bag, tail bag, and cargo net. When we go to the farmer's market on Saturdays, I use both my tail bag and my sweetie's, plus the bungee net.... You wouldn't think it, but flowers do pretty well hanging off the back under the net.    :mrgreen:

I can't even imagine being without my tank bag...it's my new purse... I do like to be rid of the tail bag once in a while so I can feel the thrill of throwing my leg over the bike...instead of crawling between the tail bag and handlebars.  :lol:

I finally went and bought a cheap tank bag.  I love it.

[WREX]

bungee cargo net for me.  always have something in it and still surprised what it'll take sometimes.  throttle lock and watch to cluster sound like good things as well.

btw - i'm still cracking up about the swamp ass thing :lol:.   lost a little bit (of what little i had anyways) of my innocence reading that

Bottle of loctite is cheap and can help keep your expensive stuff stay attached.

You cuold always make your own $1 tank bag

I just bought a tank bag last week. Its a Joe Rocket Manta.  Awesome. Its got a pocket more my cell phone so I can see who's calling and even though its kinda small, between it and my backpack I can take just about anything I need with me on my bike.

[Phaedrus]

what can you fit in there besides a cell phone and a pack of gum?  

[ajgs500]

condoms???

[Phaedrus]

Ya...that tank bag is a fanny pack for a bike. 97gs500e is one step from getting a scooter  :lol:  :nana:

[dbarile]

A good tank bag gets my vote. It's really hard to carry a diet coke home in your hand when you are also expected to steer the bike.

Guess I should drink them on site.

[97gs500e]

what can you fit in there besides a cell phone and a pack of gum?  

Cell phone, gum, bike cover, garage door opener, condoms, digital camera, disk lock, and my gloves(when I'm not wearing them).
