any good strap mount tank bags??

THere are so many kick ass bags, but most of the cool ones are magnectic..

anyone with a strap mounted tail bag got any suggestions???I dont want a huge one, but it must have a lot of pockets and it must look rad. and it had to look good off the bike. I dont wanna carry around a purse.

so far this is my fave http://www.alpinestars.com/Tech_Aero.../p/610728.html
love fact thats its pretty much a backpack with mounting straps. but ts pretty expensive.

any other ideas for a good tank bag that doesn;t look stupid and is easy to carry off the bike, lately i've just been bungee cording a pack to my tankl...but the bungee make it looks like crap.

any suggestions? o therwide Im just gonna buy a nice backpack.

I have a shoei helmet backpack, but im 5"8 and its a little big for me. makes me look like a turtle........if anyone is interested I would be happy to sell off my shoei helmet backpack for cheap, so I can find so fund another bag,

Check out SWMotech Bags Connection at Twisted Throttle

These have simply the best quick attach/release mechanism bar none!
There is tank ring that is fastened permanently, then the bag of your choice just clips onto the mount.
Seconds to smap on or off - especially great when you have gas stops.
I have the fixed mount on all three of my bikes and two different size bags - the Vina and the Engage Sport
They have a handle that you can use to carry the bag when you unclip it and it also comes with a shoulder strap if you want to use that.
Both of these models are expandable too - the Vina also comes with another accessory pouch (not shown in my pic)

Here's the Vina on my Triumph




Here's a video - bit commercial but it does show you how it works

I bought the Bradley bag by Rapid Transit when they had it (even cheaper then the Abrahams, same bag but the bradley is slightly smaller). Works well, not much in terms of pockets though.
