    which tank bag?

    hi all you enlightened one`s,
    I need myself a tank bag for the 650 alp nothing to large just for diving documents and the odd map and camera etc. Must be waterproof and fit by magnetic stuff.

    what do you all use and suggest sick of having to get off bike and open topbox etc

    The ones for sale recently in Aldi fit the bill. Not that that would be much use at the moment, but you might get lucky.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Keep your eye out for the Lidl / Aldi offering. At £15 this is excellent value for money and they come up quite regular with the motorcycle stuff - fittings are both magnetic and strap fit for those bikes without metal tanks

    Top boxes and tank bags can trash cameras.
    If you must top box or tank bag your camera, then ensure it is well wrapped in anti-biff stuff.
