sdwillie Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I too looked for a while and i needed something small due to the tank having plastic in the way and settled on the Cortech Super 2.0 Low Profile Tank Bag Its awesome and expandable. The magnets never scratch the tank. Edited February 24, 2020 by sdwillie 2 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @sdwillie Is that a matte silver FJ/Tracer? The reason I ask is because I have a matte grey FJ and the Nelson Riggs magnetic tank bag i used prior to my SHAD polished the tank a bit where the magnets touched... no scratches but definitely polished the matte finish (thus the faux carbon vinyl you see on my tank in my pictures). Normally I have no reservations about magnetic tank bags but I would not recommend them on matte finishes given my experience. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

stumpy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I am a fan of the SW-Motech Engage bag also. It seems as though it was made for the tracer/FJ. Holds everything I need for a days ride. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member rustyshackles Posted February 25, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted February 25, 2020 +1 SW-Motech Engage. For touring I use the its big brother Before this I used an excellent strap mounted bag 13 liter Shiloh Road Tankbag great build quality on the RKA, and unclipping one strap and sliding bag to one side to pump gas wasn’t too much of a PITA. 1 IBA Member #59800 3 Nations Brewing Mug Club #100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsquabbles Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Another vote for the SW engage. Think it’s 7 liters (aka smallish) and looks and works great. Have used on two cross country trips in heat, rain, cold etc without issue. Tank ring keeps it off the tank but close enough to look great. However the downside is the price. SW doesn’t give them away for sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The tank ring attachment works great with the Givi bags, never had them work loose. 15 litre is a nice useful size for day use. You can also adjust how it sits on tank by moving the fixing forward / backward, very useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems like that yourself? No problems at all. As you may see from my link, it’s a bestseller on sportsbikeshop and a Ride recommended item. What’s not shown on the picture is that there is a small nylon cover over the top, that has a zip in it for holding a credit card. I don’t use it at all, but it covers the transparent phone pocket and stops UV damage. The tankbag is rock solid when mounted, yet easy to remove with the tank ring mechanism. I’ve had mine for at least 3 years now and no problems. 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Added a $20 ring setup and a piece of cutting board for stiffness to a strap on Cortech in the gear closet. Been using it for four years and works great. After decades of other mounting systems I'm all ring now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tojjer Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Thank you all for taking the time to post and put pictures also. I think I am leaning towards one of those SW Motechs. Look great on the bike with that shape. Thanks again all, really appreciate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfifer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I bought a Givi EA123 5litresish (second hand off eBay) but decided it was Tooo small. Once you have the Tankring fitted however it makes "easy" to put one bag to the side and buy another. I then bought a Givi XS307 off Amazon, second hand - presumably a return, also at a bargain price. It looks much more useful. As whoever said 12litres or so is a good plan.

flyfifer Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Don't ignore Chitown's throw away DIY solution to going Givi Ring. Buy a ring and convert an existing bag. I was about to convert a Kriega US10 when the cheap XS307 appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you order the tank ring, make sure to order the 110 EVO ring. If I remember correctly, they recommend a different ring, (307, 308 maybe?) but that one has the bag sitting 1" or more above the tank surface. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
