Baglux city bag is what I use. Just big enough for a map and your essentials. Does mean your bike would have to wear a bra.

The SW Motech one had a base that is attached to the bike, the bag just clips on to that, very securely, and you just pull a release pin to take the bag off if you want to carry it with you. Comes with carry straps etc.

Just for info: The Quick-Lock fuel filler attachment (socket) wont fit directly on an 08GS.

I had been thinking of a small tank bag but settled for this Wunderlich one from NN's. http://www.nippynormans.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WUN-1250196&variation=&aitem=7&mitem=80 - if that doesn't work do a search by Wunderlich.
WUNDERLICH HANDLE BAR BAG R1200GS / ADVENTURE/HP2 WUN-1250196 £26 plus p&p. Ideal and big enough to take wallet, phone, tools, small torch and money for tolls.
Regards Brian.

I've got a SW Motech Quick-Lock Engage and it's great.

Not too large clips on and off easily has all the right pockets easy to carry.

Mine's an 06 bike and I had the same issue looking for a small tankbag.

Has anyone tried one of those Electrical connection rings - if so how difficult are they to fit and did you find it useful - I recognise the cigarette lighter socket bit but what is the other connection. What I really could do with is a USB connection through a tank bag.....

If anyone has used one I would be really gratefull to know how you got on.
