    B Square from Lidl - fits a treat.

    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?

    I have a Hein Gericke Toureg tank bag which does the trick for my 650 TAlp. I think it was about £75 (probably more then Aldi!). It holds a lot and has various side pockets. The top has a clear pocket to take maps and has a recess in this pocket to take a SatNav. When I first put it on it didn't look like it was quite the right shape underneath for the tank, but it seems very stable, and is easily tilted up to refuel without having to remove the tank-bag. I guess with use it will settle and adapt to the shape of the tank even better.

    Oxford 1st time tank bag works well without fouling the bars (too much).

    Been using this Oxford 1st time tank bag for well over a year. Still does its job without any complaints, or pressing need for modification.

    I use a GTmoto tank bag from Halfords.

    Correction, my "B Square" tank bag was from Lidl and not Aldi. Thanks to BTBloke for reminding me.
