Review on 🏍️ Coleman Magnetic Tank Bag for Motorcycles by Joey Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tank bag how to keep the handle in place

This is the perfect tank bag for me and my V-Star. The speedometer and headlights are built into the top of the tank, allowing any large pocket to cover the required dash panels. At first I was disappointed because I was able to easily remove this bag from the tank, but when it's down it was very secure. Since then it has handled speeds of up to 90+ miles per hour. There is a small zip pocket at the top that I put my work/house keys in. I use the main compartment pocket to store the LCP and the rain cover to hide the firearms when the pocket is open. In the main compartment I keep my wallet, headphones and everything else that would fit in my pockets in the car. I haven't found any use for the transparent "map case" other than to dazzle me with a reflection. I'll probably just delete it. It is attached with Velcro and multiple buttons so it can be easily removed. It might fit my Note 5 but I have a handlebar mount for that. I also have an Anker battery pack in it and there is a small hole protected by rubber through which I can connect the micro USB cable to my phone. The elastic secured the cord so the wind didn't pull the cord further than where I had attached it. Even at speeds of 100+, the line will not be blown in the wind. Many people complain that the top handle on the gas tank dangles and rattles. There is a simple solution to this problem: while the bag is upright and the magnets are facing you, turn the top handle back twice. This presses the handle against the bag and holds it in place so the handle doesn't move while you ride.
