How does it attach to the tank? How much did it set you back? I think I'd rather get a tankbag than a backpack.
i paid like 47 with shipping. newenough.com has them. there are magnets that hold it on the tank. i forgot to pull the one 'tab' out when i took the pics. lol.

call/email them... I bet they'll send out the right one immediately... they're great people
yea i would had i gotten it from newenough... i got mine off ebay because when i ordered it, newenough's website siad they wouldnt have black/grey untill mid may. now they have them..wtf!
How do you like it? I can get one for 45 bucks from new enough shipped, and Ive been looking into one for a while (backpack is gettin uncomfortable). How secure is it? it would be for my CBR, how well do the flaps conform to the bike? (the CBR has some deep insets for the knees in the tank...). Thanks for the info weasel!
Heck of a deal for under $50. Better looking than my Marsee bag and a little less money.
Yeah I really like mine too. Got it from my local shop cause it was $40 there and no shipping to pay! Nice to have my phone right there on top of the tank.
So hows it fit?
fits good. its small tho. so if u plan on carrying a lot of stuff, dont get it. its perfect for around town or short trips just to carry stuff. u could get maybe 2-3 t-shirts inside the main pouch (just to give u an idea). im just not so sure bout how will it will hold up in the wind since there are no straps.. we'll see i guess :)
Looks like it's magnetic. Only magnetic bags have those wings on the side
yea it is magnetic. 4 mags, 2 on the side, and one in the front and one in the back. the one up front is tiny and doesnt hold as well as sides or back. so thats my only concern...
think i could fit a binder and a book in there (school stuff)
nooo, its small dude. i jjust measured it and at its longest point is about 11inches. widest 7inches.. thats the inside measurements
grr i need one i can throw a camera in, or a laptop, or my school stuff (which sometimes includes the laptop). GRRR
In mine right now... wheel lock, keys (to house), wallet, phone, extra gloves, and insurance info.
Ohhh and you can take it to pick up 3 or 4 dvds and they'll fit with nothing else in side the main pocket.
Daniely, for a laptop, you're better off with a tailbag, imho. I bought this one, that expands out for extra width. Very easy on and off with a carrying strap as well. I like it cuz it's not huge and bulky. Looks sporty and aerodynamic.

Someday I'll have to post pics of it on the GS.
how does that attach hairball? I cant quite figure it out, I may nab one of those here.
glue
four bungies that attach under the seat. The GS has four little attachment points, hopefully the CBR's have something like that.
Oh, if you ever buy the saddle bags, the bungies hide nicely out of the way, and the tailbag just snaps into the saddlebags. It's extremely well made, I'm very impressed.
I would just be worried about it flyin off...
Here's a pic of the tailbag on my bike, along with the Super-mini tankbag.
