Here you go...
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/department.aspx?Department=668&Division=6

If that doesn't work, go to their main page, click "accessories", then "luggage" at the left side of the page.  Good luck.

Quote from: JuanferSpecial thanks to you Pablo, nice family photos in the map pouch...

Yeah, the only thing I dont like about my tank bag (or most for that matter) is that there aren't any small pockets for wallet, etc. I hated diggin through my bag to find my wallet and small stuff like that. So I made that cardboard insert to create a concealed pocket and posted my family photos on it...everytime I look down I see my wife and child. Reminds me to ride smart.

Good idea Pablo, you have two important reasons to ride smart.

I was thinking of putting some small pockets on the sides attached by zippers to retire when I dont need them. Now I just have to find the magnets, I guess it wont be difficult.

I have the icon urban tank bag.

(http://www.accwhse.com/photos/icon_urban_tankbag_bk.gif)

It's basically a small back pack with a neoprene backing and wings with magnets that fold away when not in use. I suggest you do something similar: take a backback, make sure it fits on the tank, and ask the lady to sew a soft backing with wings for the magnets that you can fold back.
It shouldn't cost  much.
