guzzi323 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've had my RKA 26 liter tankbag for about 3 years and it's been great. They have a few different designs available. Check them out here.. http://www.rka-luggage.com/pages/08tnkbag/tank.html cheers, johnk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Britcheflee Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Just ordered some saddlebags from RKA - speak to Richard who is a nice guy - I had a crafty plan to purchase some MG sew on badges and asked him to put them on when they made the bags - unfortunately he is not allowed to do so due to licencing or whatever - the tank bags look good as well and I like the idea of custom made items even though they are a tad more expensive....now my question is, how do I attach the MG patches to the item - need some kind of waterproof strong glue I guess. They have magnetic tank bags I think which I imagine would stay in place more securely than straps which no matter how tight you cinch them down would allow for movement and thus scratching. Lee I will post a report once the bags come in and I get them attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The MG tank bags are really easy to buy over here- Corsa Italiana sell them: http://www.corsaitaliana.com/index.php?f=data_moto_guzzi&a=2 Are the US dealers not stocking them?

Guest Britcheflee Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Plastic gas tank? Well, just retrieved one of the thousand or so magnetic things stuck to our fridge and by george, you are right, it will not work with magnets!!! Seems like our bikes are about 20 lbs of plastic stuck on 490lbs of engine!!!!! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goose2241 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Marsee is coming out with new way of attaching tank bags using the gas cap area. Unsure whether this will work with Guzzi's. It's a pretty new product. New Marsee Tankbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twhitaker Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Chase Harper also makes a very nice product. www.chaseharper.com I don't know if they are still in business but I've been using an Eclipse tankbag for about 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eclipse changed ownership within the past 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I like the MG tank bag but question the utility of something that zps open at the front. It doesn't work well if you're moving. I won't go into what I'm doing opening a tank bag while in motion but I suspect that I'm not the only person who's ever done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzzTim Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 FJR I've got the MG Bag on my V11 Sport, and it works well for me.. fits my thinkpad & a few odds 'n sods. When I ride the Tuono I just use the tankbag as a backpack. Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
