I'm looking for a new tank bag for a 05 Sprint ST. Does any one have any suggestions?

Bags Connection / S W Motech system is the best system I have ever had. Not cheap but very practical and nothing comes in contact with the paint.

if you ride solo....

get the speed triple tail bag. (im getting one for everyday use)

I have the triumph leather tank cover tank bag.... and I only use it on road trips. its a royal pain in the arse to take on and off ..
especially if you are running the hardbag brackets.

I have a Cortec mini. It holds the essentials for a day trip and you can still see the Triumph logo. If I need more I put on the bags

Just got a Cortec tail pack also but haven't used it yet

Which type of SW Motek bag did you use? I can't tell which one follows the curvature of the tank.

I have two. I use the "Sport Engage" model for day trips out of town or when I need to a little extra capacity. (I do not have the hard bags as I think they ruin the looks of the bike) I also have a small one, I think it's called a Vina or something like that, that I use for just around town stuff. If you are just buying one, I would suggest the Sport Engage. You can see them online @ twistedthrottle.com

I use the Luggage Locker tank bag. I love it. Very easy on/off and it is a good size. I also like how I don't cover up the whole bike with the 'tank bra' that the other bags need.

one more point.

the triumph bags may be expensive and a pain in the ass.
but the quality is very high by comparision.

in my shopping around for a tail bag. nothing that i have ran across comes close to the Triumph bags quality.

Since I already have committed to the triumph tank bag
I will get the Triumph S3 seat/tail bag as well to match.

I find most of the other tail bag bags look very cheaply made.
the only one that remotely interested me was the Axio hard tail bag.
