To get there, scroll down to the bottom and click "back to tankbag page" and then click on "16 liter expandable SS magnetic".

Ah, you're too clever by half. Yep, I gave the wrong link but it was still the RKA site and the important thing was you got there in the end. No matter, I still like my RKA magnetic 16l expandable tank bag. -- '01 SV650S '99 EX250-F13 '98 ZG1000-A13 OMF #7

I may order one first thing Monday. (And where were you a couple of weeks ago when I was bitching about the magnets in my Ocelot tankbag being so weak that the bag slides forward on the tank under braking?) I assume that this isn't a problem with your RKA?

If you did have an ST you'd know the 'tank' is aluminum so you can't use a magnetic tank bag.

On an ST1100 (see subject heading) it doesn't matter what the tank is, because the Top Shelter (the part that covers the air cleaner and gas cap where a tank bag sits) is plastic. -- Turby the Turbosurfer |
