Review on Nelson-Rigg Adventure Motorcycle Tank Bag, designed for optimal fit on Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki Adventure Bikes by John Contreras

So many good things to say about this bag, but so little time. This bag and I have become close. He became my savior on a two month 11,000 mile cruise. Every time I thought it couldn't fit anymore, it did. Every time I thought the bag was bad weather ready, it held up. It turned my bike on and off at the beginning and end of every day, plus countless gas stations, and the buckles wouldn't fail. Everything I needed quick access to was there. I'm sure it sounds like I'm showing off, but this bag has helped me on a trip so many times that it keeps me going for a while. In terms of specs, it's worth noting that I only left it expanded for extra capacity, even though I didn't have much in it. When I take my helmet off I put on a baseball cap and it was easier to put on a hat. In addition, rain protection depends on the operator. The first storm I got into with the bag I struggled to find a place to pull it off and put it on the cover and when I got to it the bag was wet. Not wet but the side pockets and bottom got wet. It dried out overnight at the hotel, and after that I got better at predicting storms. The bag is versatile, but be aware that if your gas cap is where mine is (under the bag), you'll open the bag every time you fill up. high. I simply undid the top buckles and pushed the bag aside to fill while the bottom buckles were still attached. It wasn't disturbing at all. Damn, I never completely got off the bike to fill up. Basically, the bag is worth the money. And it looks cool too! I had a comment from a BMW adventure rider that my tank bag looks much better and more functional than the one he brought with his bike. Sometimes aftermarket accessories are just better.
