Another Happy Customer :: New Enough
Newenough has a pic of it on what looks like an FZ6..... doesn't look like the fit is all that great, but then again it's on backwards. If you get a chance to try it out, be sure to update us. I think the big hump on our tank hinders alot of bags fitting right.... but you never know till you actually try it on the bike.
I know I had to buy a new one (Icon Primer) because the one I had for my last bike (Cortech mini) didn't fit right at all.
Does look like an awesome bag, the hydration system would be nice. But if it's just a need to carry that much stuff my tail bag gets put into use.

That thing is crazy big. Talk about hindering your upper body doing any kind of aggressive riding. If I need to carry anything bigger than what I can fit in my pockets, I just wear a back pack. My Camelback holds 4 bottles of water and has room for me to put a sweatshirt or jacket liner in as well as pretty much anything else I can imagine needing without having to have an ugly ass bag on my tank or hanging off the tail of the bike. A hell of a lot cheaper too.
If you could get some pictures, that would be wonderful. I have been thinking about getting one of the Manta tank bags, and pictures would make or break my decision.
Also, for anyone out there who doesn't use bags (tank, tail, or saddle or backpacks), how do most of you keep track of your documents (registration, insurance card, etc.)? I currently just keep them in my jacket, but if I put the liner in or take it out, I have to move the documents to another pocket. I would like to keep them with the bike, but the space under the seat seems too small and not waterproof. Any ideas?
Absolutely, I don't keep the bike at my house since I don't have a garage or I'd go do it now lol.
I carry my insurance info in my wallet and my registration is in the plastic bag that the manual came in, which is under the seat.

I got a small ICON tank bag - not sure which one - about $50 - it has the magnets in a cross formation - smallish - not real big - but fits great and holds enough to be functional - maybe 12 x 10 x 5 - something like that - i will try to post a pic later
True that, I don't like the look of the bike with all the bags on it...
And I have my vehicle registration and emergency contact number in a plastic zip lock bag underneath my seat.
My Tourmaster/Cortech Super Mini Tank bag...
My only regret, price @ $60 seems a bit much (tail bag cost that much), but it fits two bottles of water, couple of snack bars, small camera and cell phone right up in your face without getting in the way of tucking in, just what I was looking for.
I already have the saddlebags, tail bag, just wanted a handy place for quick access stuff, you know, pull over into a parking lot, grab a drink or snack and go.

That's the same Cortech one I have, but didn't seem to fit well enough for me..... i dunno... maybe I'll give it another try before I decide whether to sell it or not.
The Icon Primer bag I got is a little bit bigger, so I can carry a good amount now. I'll throw a pic up in a little while.

here we go:
Capable of holding quite a bit of stuff: Right now it has 2 sets of glasses (1 pair in a case), 2 pairs of gloves, a rag and the backpack straps that came with it. Still has tons of room... I've stuffed quite a bit more in there for the ride to and from work.

i have my reg and insurance in a ziplock inside the tool bag. but good call on the emergency contact number. i need to get that in there pronto!

I wear a back pack! Looks better than a tank bag! Thats is just my opinion though!
