Nelson-Rigg MG950. Indestructable. Expandable. life time warranty that never has to be used. I think they are closing them out but they can still be found on the internet at around $40..........

PS: Greg: it is virtually impossible to use a tank bag very much and not scratch the paint. It is pretty much inevitable. I tour all the time so I accept it, but were I ever to sell my Bonnie, I would repaint the tank first. I use touch up paint. Part of the problem is the paint on the Bonnie in the first place. The clear coat is very soft and the base coat is easily scratched as well. It acts more like spray can paint than a baked on finish. When I used the same tank bags on Hondas I had a few inconsequential micro scratches, but on the Bonnie one piece of grit under the bag pad will gouge a line in the paint if you don't pick up the bag with meticulous care. And that is way too much bother for me. Sue has the same bag and uses it every time she rides her Kaw Vulcan and there are no scratches.
