Thanks for the ideas... I agree that a knife will unlock the bag! Is there a magnetic tank bag that you would recommend? I worry about scratching the tank but maybe that is not an issue with the newer bags.


I got the Bell one from Wally World.  I don't use it much, but it works fine.  Good grip, doesn't scratch the paint.  Yes, it covers the speedo.
Thought I had pictures posted here somewhere...  can't find 'em now.  Huh

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Just check Wally World online and they don't list any bags for motorcycle ... at least that I can find.  I do remember a display (a VERY small one) near the automotive section where I saw some Bell helmets.  Didn't pay much attention though.  Will have to run back up there and check out the bags.

Correct on all counts.  Wally World on line does not show their MC, ATV, stuff.
IF they have Mobil 1 VTwin, it will be in that (miniscule) section along with the bags, helmets, gloves, etc.
I suggest calling all the Wally Worlds in your area and asking for Automotive, then ask them if they have that section.  (The front desk won't have a clue).

The thing with magnetic (and all) tank bags is that you have to keep the tank clean to avoid scratches.

As for me, I have two -- first is a small Marsee Bullet Bag.  It'll hold a digital camera and my sunglass case.  It does have a plastic "window" for a note card or directions.



And a basic cargo from Cycle Gear:



No map window, but it holds quite a bit more -- especially with the expansion gusset unzipped.

And neither one covers up the speedometer!
