The problem you'll have with a full size tank bag is that it will obscure your speedometer. Currently I have a full size Nelson Rigg, and can't even use it on the bike if I want to be able to track my speed.

Here is one that I'm going to pick up soon. The measurements should work with our speedo setup.

Here is another one that is pretty interesting as well.

All this is new to me and my experience is "zero" so thanks for your knowledge and experience with all matters including this one!

I like the idea of the magnet, because I would not use this type bag all the time but for those days that Im going somewhere even locally that I dont know my way, having the ability to put those directions/phone numbers in a place that is visable is an awesome thing.

I went to visit a friend on the bike last week and I had only been out to her house once, she lives out in the country, and it was a pain to stop and then try and get her on the cell cause I wasnt sure where to turn.

She origionally told me like make a left and then 2 rights failing to tell me i had to go awhile to a stop sign for the first right, so here i am in this neighboorhood that didnt look famililar, callin her. Of course I was out on the bike and it was a last minute thing to go visit her, so i was not prepared.

Live and learn.........I guess

The magnetic bags have a "soft covering" that keeps the magnets from scratching up your paint as well. I like them, I just need to pick one up for the Savage. My last bike was a GZ250 and I ran a huge tank bag on that bike, as it had a 4 gallon tank on it.
