No, I looked at Ron Ayers, the actual store, and all they had were way too big, even the smallest one. At least it was too big for my taste. I can't remember the brand or anything about it. I finally gave up.

I saw a woman on a group ride who had a tank bag on her Savage and it fit well.  It was not a very big bag - but could hold sunglasses, wallet and phone, gloves, etc.  If you had a very small plastic rain jacket it might have been able to hold it.  You won't be able to see your speedometer, turn signals or neutral lights...and you will have to remove the bag temporarily when you get gas.

When I was looking for a tank bag I found that the only way to buy one was to actually take them out and try them on the bike to see how they fit.  You can ask other riders to try their bag on your bike - or go by retailers and talk to a salesman and take the bags out and try them on your bike.  I stopped at several different dealers and tried about 8 different bags before I found one that fit well.  Be aware that tank bags will leave small scratches on the tank no matter how soft the bottom side of the bag it....however making sure the tank is clean before you put the bag on helps.  Also be careful not to set the bag down in a place where the bottom of the bag will get dirty or the magnets will pick up anything abrasive.

I seldom use my tank bag anymore....it is easier to use a fanny pack or backpack.

If you aren't going to ride double, Saddleman has an inexpensivie roll bag that fits nicely across the back area of the seat.  Two straps ride under the seat and the clips are actually sown into the bag....it works great.  The bag is a moderate size, but actually fits my lunch box, extra gloves and hat and still has room.  I got the bag for $32 on sale. Price runs from $32 to $39 depending on the store.
