Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really good product

Under $40 and free shipping you might think it's cheap quality but it's not. Even use the extra strap to attach it to the steering column, it doesn't move! And I mean, with a full load (I'll get back to that) at 70mph, all-weather cornering on my FJR 1300, that's really awesome. When I arrive, a gentle but sure tug under the magnets and voila, it's off and then it's stowed fully loaded in one of my hard luggage bags. With a large map pocket on the top (accessible from the inside), for rallies and unknown terrain, a smaller front zipped compartment for mobile phone, sunglasses etc. and then a main zipped compartment, it's really great, it looks good and it also fits very well . I didn't test it in heavy rain, but while it survived a few downpours, the cards and internal contents dried out. I mostly used mine in the summer so I put it in my bag: My Mesh Armored. Removable jacket liner for chilly eveningsFrogg's waterproof kitSpare mapsHydration bottleLock and helmet cordSnacks, spare gloves, glasses case With this content it's well padded but still clearly visible and if you line it up on the tank and fold it down the sides there's a good 'thulunk', as the magnets snap into place and it doesn't move. It also means it's really easy to take it to the gas station without fiddling with straps and buckles. The only thing it doesn't have is a dedicated window or housing for GPS, for me that's not critical as I don't use it and if I did I could put it in my map case and thread the wire through the zip . Those who use GPS a lot might want to look at other bags. A real winner and great prize - 5 stars.
