tank bag mount

  1. #1

    tank bag mount

    Magnet or suction cup?

    Using straps with nelson riggs bag...tied from front around steering head and rear around front seat mount

    Thing keeps sliding left to right and bumps my arms

    The seller recommended suction cups...but methinks they'll slide off

    GOOD suction cups work. I've yet to see a bag come with good suction cups. If you have a metal tank, then I feel magnets are the best option, just be sure they are clean.

    i'll sell you mine...$25. sold my bike, not sure when I'll be riding again and it's just sitting around. good deal. It's a Marsee magnetic. Had nothing but good experience with it...it's expandable, zippered side pockets and has a detachable front pouch with belt clips. In great shape. and it stays in place, no probs. I live in Waltham...

    I've got a Nelson Riggs bag that's gotta be a least 12 years old with magnetic mount and I've not had any problems with the mount. On the other hand the zippers are shot from over stuffing the thing. My next one is going to be magnetic mount too.

    I may be interested if breakdirt916 is not . I work in Newton and drive through Waltham everyday. Send me a PM with the details, model number, your phone number, pictures, whatever.
    Thanks

    I have the bags connection setup. Works great and keeps the bag off the paint. I've got a couple of bags..... A small one for day trips and a larger one for weekends.
