    - The Touring version - i unzipped the bottom layer(just a map case) for the Longest Day.....stayed 100% waterproof for over 10 hours of continous rain...

    You can put the securing strap around the front yoke - but if im carrying lightwirght stuff - i just use the magnets...

    hope this helps...

    Indeed it does - that was the one I preferred anyway, which is a bit of a bonus

    I'll have to count the pennies later, and will then probably order one

    I didn't go for a magnetic one, because of the airfilter cover, and shape of the tank. I ended up getting the Touratech one with zip on side pods too. Expensive, but doubles up as backpack and the side pods are very useful and can also be zipped together.
