It's from SBF, a German company. Unless you read German, want to deal with customs and a Euro conversion, just be patient and buy it from NewBonnieville. Here's the website for your perusal

I have a tank bag already (the triumph tank bag, actually) but was thinking of getting a smaller one too. However, the tank bags that are held in place with magnets worry me; 1) they may scratch the paint and 2) those powerful magnets may wreck havoc with sensitive electronics like PDA's and cellphones. These points are something I've read somewhere but can't remember where...

Anyway, can anyone confirm or disprove this?

If you don't set the bag down where it will pick-up any metallic trash or any other junk it should be fine. When removed from tank aways place it in a storage bag and this won't be a problem. I don't believe the magnets will affect a cell too much.

I've been using a magnetic bag for a couple of months, no problems. BUT, be careful before you mount it to make sure that it has not picked up any foreign objects, metal shavings, etc. I liked the idea about keeping it in a bag, I leave mine on the workbench.

I try not to slide it around on the tank for fear of messing up the pretty paint, so far so good. As for messing with the cells and pda's , nope, no problem here.

I've got the small Euro-bag in brown w/ the big holding magnets ...so far so good, to 90 mph...make sure tank and bag are CLEAN B4 mounting, mount straight down w/o sliding. When running make sure that the little flap closure magnets go IN the holes.
...Billy
p.s. ...no moving or re/moving for gas fillups
