As it happens, Mr. Roehling owns a '99 VFR800, which, he is glad to say, sports a steel tank. (Unless my magnets have been fooled very badly.)

No, but I probably should, I've been recommending the RKA and Luggage Locker bags to anyone who will listen. I heard such good things about them from people on the SV mailing list, I figured I couldn't go wrong. -- '01 SV650S '99 EX250-F13 '98 ZG1000-A13 OMF #7

All three were great homes for this large bag. Have not seen anything built quite as good or works quite as well for it's size. I doubt you can still get them, or want the buell logo all over it. One con- the map pocket isn't waterproof, but does sit nice on top of the rain fly. The ST has some great places to anchor bags that other bikes should note. The bungee holders under the seat that flip out are fantastic, but missed on most bikes. Kirb
