Tank Bag
« on: March 10, 2013, 10:07:37 AM »
I would like to get an 'appropriate' tank bag to my new bike. Blue Moon offer a "Harro Tankbag" but pricey...

"The proper period accessory for the older BMW…long time favorite of touring riders. This heavy canvas bag features expandable 23 litre capacity, leather trim, map case, and foam bottom. Fits perfectly on
the narrow or wide 1950–1990 BMW tank. Made in Germany
by Harro, $189."

Pictures of recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 ;D  Since you're shopping the higher end tank bags, you don't want to see my "Airhead frugal" bags!

If you are going period specific for our R65's, meaning the late 70's and early 80's, you might consider the 'classic' Eclipse bags.  Still made, last forever, reasonably priced, comes with rain cover, etc.
