Nice! How is the side to side movement? Does it stay in place pretty good? Was always curious about one of these with the straps. I had a magnet tank bag on an older bike and it eventually scratched my tank up.

I wouldn't use a bag like that because it will scuff the tank. Some people don't notice or aren't bothered by it but I always spot the damage on their bikes.
I will only use SW Motech tank bags on my bike as they don't touch the tank.

It has a soft yet grippy pad that velcros to the bottom of the bag. The bag itself is fastened by 3 clips. One on each side of the steering post and one from under the seat. I have them pretty tight and there is no side to side movement. I was worried about movement also. As long g as the straps are good and tight there is no way it can move.

I used a Nelson Rigg magnetic tank bag on my prior FZ1 for five years and it never scratched the tank's surface. You have to make sure the tank is clean when you use the bag, and make sure any crud is off the underside of the bag. But a magnetic or strap secured bag is fine. I have a Givi bag now that attaches via a special ring on the gas cap, easy on/easy off and very secure.

Like I said, most people don't notice, but there's dust in the air and dirt in rain that does get under the bag no matter how careful you are. Then when you move the bag to fill up you pick up lots of little scuffs. If you're not the type of person to get annoyed at swirls in your top coat you won't care about the scuffs a tank bag causes. I never claimed to be normal by the way, but maybe other weirdos out there care about these things like I do  |
