  First off, I have never replied on this net before so take it
 easy on me O.K.?

 Last year when I was shopping for tank bag to compliment my brand
nwe Honda VF1000R, I noticed that they are very expensive! My sol-
ution was to use a color coordinated back-pack instead. If you do
too, find one that has a belly belt so it can be used under the back
of the gas tank. The shoulder straps go on each side of the front of
the tank. Put some foam rubber underneath the bag to protect the paint.

You have to cut off and secure the mateing straps to the front head-set
region. Also you have to give up on the idea that this can be quickly
removed. BUT... it costs one fifth the price, and looks like the real
thing.
