I dont do alot of long trips but would like to have a little more storage. What does everone like to use ? Tank Bag or Tail Bag

I use a tank bag for everyday stuff, and I'm getting a tail bag because I sometimes run out of room.

The tank bag is nice to have if you have only a few things that you need to bring with you. I always have a first aid kit, a leatherman, and a few microfiber towels. The map pocket on it is nice for a map, my cell phone and ipod also.

what brands do you own? Can you post pics or links if available please?

mine is a nelson rigg, you can get closeout ones pretty cheap sometimes at newenough.com

I have a tail bag for commuting. Holds my lunch, spare visor (clear in the morning/switch to smoke for afternoon) and the occasional office "reading material". its the Cortech sport one. fits well. I cut some neoprene from an old wetsuit and attached them to the hooks to keep them from scratching my bike.

I'd like to get a tank bag for every day stuff, but haven't found one I like, I don't want one thats too bulky but I still want to carry some stuff.

I have both- but what I really dig is a bag that is both- it straps down, rather than using magnets, so I can use it either place. I think it's an Eclipse bag.

I use a Tank bag most of the time, and a backpack also if I need extra room (though I wish I had some luggage).

I have a Joe Rocket Manta, its small, but holds all my stuff.

[Bergy2]

do you have any pics of the manta on your kat?

Here's my JR manta (I think) tank bag...



I use that and a Targa backpack, that has 2 straps that connect at my waist and chest so it doesn't fly around.

I have a Joe Rocket Manta XL that holds everything I take with me everyday. I just ordered a tail bag and saddle bags for storage when I travel.

Tank bag for rain gear and extra gloves and glasses. Maybe a bottle of water, some maps, spare bandanna...
