I have an Oxford X30 with strap on base on mine - works well apart from the strap around the headstock is a tad short so you need to add a few bootlaces to keep it from dropping down when you unhook them to fill the tank. Otherwise excellent quality and only 30 quid on Amazon UK.

I use the Cortech tank bag with the Dryver QD. Works fantastic.

I'm hoping my Wolfman tank bag will fit with the 4 straps. I'm not so sure that it will be sitting flat across the tank? Looks like the tank has a longer slope to it than the flat part where the filler cap is....
I think a 3 strap bag works best. 
I ordered this yesterday:

Will post pics in about a week (3,000 mile ground shipping + 1 international border.)
 
It may be too small for trips, but I thought the bigger one may be too long:

RKA is expensive, but extremely well made.

I have the same RKA tank bag. It is on my third bike now. Over the years, looking at equipment on other bikes, I was always impressed
with the RKA's I saw on other bikes. Some looked quite weathered but they always held there shape as they day they were new.
They are a little more expensive but well worth it. The rain cover (provided) fits, and doesn't parachute as bad as others I have owned.
That size is about as large as I would want on my FJ.

I bought the Givi 308 with tank lock. It has a curve to it that matches the curve of the tank. I'll send pics when I get it mounted.
I look forward to those pics!
 
A coworker just showed me his new Givi 307 (for his 2014 VStrom 1000.) Looks like good quality. But I absolutely hate that Givi cuts off part of the map window view, covering it with the tankbag name. So illogical!  >:D Other than that, a nice bag that goes on/off very quickly.
