Do u use the strap that goes round the head stock...or not..i never have but wonder if i should???
 
I've got/had 3 - none have had a headstock strap, so assuming your magnets are up to muster and you aren't carrying housebricks in there, I'd imagine you'll be fine.
 
It is entirely up to you
I always have just incase the wind catches it, may stand a chance of keeping it then
 
Done many miles with an Oxford tankbag on my CBR without any problem but first time I used it on the GS it came off with the wind blast from a passing truck :eek:
If your tankbag has a strap probably best to use it :thumb
 
cheers boys...just putting straps on seems a pain, but i dont want to loose my house bricks :thumb ....maybe i could put the strap round the bars....... :eek:
 
Never used mine but on a trip to Poland a few years ago I did use a little bungee just for peace of mind when on the Autobahn.
 
always use head stock straps, takes seconds to put on and saves you looking like a T**T from trying to catch the tank bag as it flys past you on the motorway
