Can any one recommend a small to medium tank bag for the Daytona 600/650?

I use a Triumph Tank bag, although I wasn't paying attention and got the model for the Tiger by mistake. Still works but since the fuel cap is set differently I have to undo the strap when I fill up. It provides a nice rest/windbreak for highway trips.
On a side note, anyone have any experience with the rocket locker elite seat packs? I'm eyeing one up instead of throwovers.

Thanks,
Tim

My brother just bough a Triumph tank bag for his S3. I am very impressed by its quality. It wasn't cheap, but it wasn't outrageously expensive, either. My tank bag is finally showing some serious signs of age, so I will probably go with a Triumph bag when it comes time to get a new one.

I bought a Joe Rocket Manta tank bag. It's a small, magnetic bag. It would probably hold about four 20 oz. soda bottles. It also has a cellphone pocket on the top with a clear window to see your caller ID. It is made of a water resistant cordura, but it comes with a waterproof rain cover and a shoulder strap. One other nice feature is that the rear magnetic flap is elongated down the back of the tank and doubles as a tank pad to protect your paint. Best of all is the price, I only paid $39 for it. I haven't had a chance to ride with it yet due to the Wisconsin weather and a cast on my right hand, but when I do I'll post a review.

Thanks Schmitty. I've been interested in that same bag! The only reason I haven't picked one up is I haven't heard anything about it from anyone.

I've had the Icon Urban tank bag for a about a year now & I've been happy with it.
