Review on 🏍️ Coleman Magnetic Tank Bag for Motorcycles by Ben Daugherty

Revainrating 2 out of 5

YOU HAVE A JOB! on tank bags

Magnets are VERY weak. About 30 seconds into entering the freeway, while I was still on a long turn, the bag started flying. I caught it with my left hand just in time and barely managed to keep my bike on track to get through the curve onto the freeway, but it was scary. I'll add some magnets to make it functional. Also, it's the front of my tank that's pushed as close to the double-bubble windshield as possible so it doesn't seem like it's taking all the power out of the freeway wind. If it wasn't for the magnet issue I would have given the bag 4-5 stars. It's small but it's what I wanted. I can fit my wallet, my iPhone 6 plus, a bottle of diet candy and a few other small things in it. I wouldn't put my phone in a clear case because I know the sun heats up phones so quickly. The back of the bag is made from a soft material that seems designed not to scratch the tank. I haven't had any issues with the handle scratching the tank (at least not yet). The zippers appear to be of decent quality. If you're looking for a cheap, functional bag that you know needs to add magnets to, then this is the bag for you. If you don't want to waste the trouble, choose another one. Update: I added these magnets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746MQLKQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and now it's holding perfectly. I simply cut the stitching around the edges of the magnet pockets, placed some neodymium discs directly onto the existing magnets and sewed them back together. Ideal.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
