Looking for a VERY small tank bag

I'm looking for a very small tank bag to use on my thrux. I need just enough room to get the crap out of my pockets (phone, keys, wallet, small tire pressure gauge). I tried GIVI T409 but found it to be too big, and it ruined the spartan cafe look that I love about the thrux.
Any recommendations for a small, minimalist, and preferably magnetic tank bag is much appreciated. Thanks!

I've used a Joe Rocket Manta bag for a year on my CBR. It's smallish and strange looking but does what it's designed to do. Here's a pic of it on my Blackbird. (There are two sizes of Manta bags. The one pictured is the small bag in silver.)



My son has an Icon Primer Bag which he uses on his Speed Four. Here's a hard-to-see pic.

+1 on the Joe Rocket Mini Manta.

Or you could just tape a Ziploc bag to the tank.

If you never go two up on your Thrux do what a mate of mine did. This also may be to extreme for you.

Simply modify your seat by cutting away the portion of foam which is normally covered by your seat cowl, re upholster and wallah!!!!!!......a trunk for all your junk!!!!!!!

Check out the Triumph City Tank Bag, it's low profile, black leather and just enough room for wallet, phone, small camera, keys, cigs and a couple of allen wrenches. It's got really strong magnets, no straps and a soft back, so no scratches.

Small tank bag

I used this bag for 9 months (10,000 miles of riding). The picture shows it fully stuffed. Normally I carried an iPhone charge, iPhone, multi tool, gloves.

You could stuff a scarf into it also.

I wish my new bike had a metal tank, or I'd never have gotten rid of this bag. Also has a handle which makes carrying inside with you very convienient.
