    Looking for tank bag rec's (medium 10L-12L)

    Howdy all, just curious if anyone has tank bag rec's. I am looking for a medium sized bag, something for a weekend trip (coupled with my saddleman tail bag, which fits my bike beautifully). I've been using magnetic bags for years and wanted to get something that would work with the XB. I like Cortech a lot and have had good experience with their bags over the years. I was thinking about this one...

    Anyway, would love to hear any advice/recs if anyone has them.

    TIA!

    Moto-Centric with GPS built in mount. best strap style XB tank-bag i've ever used and i've tried perhaps 8 of them now. anything larger than this unit wind-buffets like hell on any XB model.

    Whoa, hard to argue with that price! We may have a winner.

    No problems with backpacks, in fact, that is what I usually use, but I like to take rides to the mountains to ride the BR Parkway, and it requires some over night gear. I have done it with a backpack a few times, and about hour three, you really start wishing you had that tank bag

    I have a Saddleman tail bag that fits the XB12R like it was made for it. I will try to take a picture and post to this thread. It's a great bag.

    Yeah, those Kriega bags are sweet, but definitely not cheap. I got my $44 Moto-Centric bag in, and I am impressed with its construction. It's about the exact size I was looking for (I am mainly a weekend traveler, so I do not need a huge bag). Seems well built (especially for the price). I haven't mounted it yet, but I hope to do so tonight.

    I am running one of these on the tail...

    Again, it's not a huge bag for long trips, but is well-made, expandable, and looks like it was made for the bike. When I get everything strapped in I will post a picture to this thread.
