Hey!

I was at the Dollar store today, and I saw this shoulder type bag.. ya know one strap. Anyway I thought.. Man.. that looks like it would make a sweet tank bag!? So.. I paid $1.00 for it. Took it home.. cut the strap off of it and laid it on my tank. SWEET! it fits just right. I took apart 3 old Hard Drives I had and took the "Super Strong Magnets" out of em.. Sewed em' inside the bag, and BAM!!!! $1.00 Tank bag! I love it. I have been wanting to get something to just hold my wallet and cellphone and this thing is just right !

What do you all think?

Small.  Nondescript.  Cheap.  Fits the shape of the tank.

As long as the magnets hold, that's pretty sweet!

Brilliant!!!!!    

pandy  :mrgreen:

It fits the shape of the tank perfect! and the magnets are VERY strong.. it aint comin off  

Wow!

A man who is handy? Who would have thought. :mrgreen:

 

nice!  i have to say tho.. thats pretty cheesy lol.  why not just blow 20-30 bucks and get a name brand tankbag off ebay?

because....30 bucks is about 1000 miles of gas money

Hmmm.. I spent $1.00 !!!!! That was the point I guess I can rip a tag off one of my Abercrobie and Fitch shirts and sew it on there  :mrgreen: Then will I be cool  :mrgreen:

I'll send you one of my ICON patches that fell off my tank bag. :mrgreen:

Those hard drive magnets are very strong.  Will they affect your credit cards or cell phone?

The harddrive magnets are super strong and yea they will affect the cell and other electronics ... but should start returning to basic normal behavior when you take them off ... fringe benefit ... it will separate a fair bit of rust and hole it out of the fuel line ... atleast as long as it on there ...
Cool.

those super-strong magnets will light your tank on fire!  

*me runs to the dollar store*

and I thought I was cheep

If you have a color screen cell the magnets will change the color and it will be messed up if you leave it there for a while. This happened to me when I put  my backpack with my cellphone in it in the back of my friends trunk with his 3 12" subwoofers.

man beat me to it...

i was gonna ask him about that...

What does the underside look like?  It's not going to scratch the paint in putting it on / taking it off, is it?

My Nelson-Rigg tank bag cost 42 times your bag, but it has a rubberized bottom -- won't leave a mark.  Hope yours is equal to the task.  :dunno:

:mrgreen:  The bottom is made from the same stuff as the top it is very soft, somewhat water proof material and it has no rough spots or metal on it. I sewd the magnets on the inside to keep the contact points soft as well. I dont think it will scratch anything  

I also dont think that it will hurt my phone or cards.. Other tank bags have magnets in them!? Mine arent like friggn electro magnets or anything They shouldnt damage anything. I have put an old towel in the bottom of it though, just to keep things from getting stuck on the magnets I do have a color phone to, So I will keep checking, and let ya know if it starts acting up

Thought I would bring this back to see what the newer members think 

I dont use mine much anymore but its still my favorite mod
