Hi...I've had the Joe Rocket Manta bag too for about 30 days, and while it looks cool, it has severely damaged my tank clear-coat.

I was meticulous in keeping the contact areas clean, but the little super-magnets just pushed the stiff rubber pads into the tank so hard that it scoured the coating with the tank's buzzing a bit while riding.

I will not ever be using this bag on my Thruxton again, but just thought I'd relate my experience with the bag. I'm glad you like yours though!

Cheers,
BLIGHT
