I use a Tourmaster TB-18 tank bag. It's pretty big but on a trip last year I found that I needed an additional bag. I just bought a Tourmaster tail bag. I ended up fabricating some hooks for the tail bag since I couldn't find any good attachment points for the bungee hooks. The only thing I don't like about the tank bag is the fact that if you pack it tight the bottom doesn't fit the shape of the tank and it tends to wobble a bit. It does stay on securely though. The fiber glass tanks do limit your options in tank bags since most of them are magnetic.

I just posted some pics of my over on the Sprint forum. Look for the topic "Tankrucksack".

I just got the Triumph bag for Christmas and am happy with quality and installation. However, given the winter weather here in the NE, it will be awhile before I can road test it.

I have a small Nelson & Riggs tank bag for buzzing around when I don't need to carry much. Then I also have a Held bag to carry a little more.

I like them both, but the Held is a little tall and I can feel it's weight up high. Duh, it's a tank bag, this shouldn't surprise me, but it bothers me sometimes.
