Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there's a tiny tank bag available that suits the F800GS? I'd like to have tiny clear cover, for my phone, and a waterproof compartment that'd take a small camera. I'd like to be able to stop, and pick the camera out without getting off the bike, then put it back again. Perhaps room for a set of waterproof gloves.
I.e very small.
Ideally it would be mounted with some sort of fixing rather than "just straps" running everywhere.

I was thinking of using one of the "PowerPorts" to power it for charging, etc.

Thanks! :thumb2
 
I've got a small bag strapped across my bars. It came from Hein Gericke. I use it for charging my phone, change for tolls, side stand pad etc. I'm not sure you'd get waterproof gloves in it though. It makes up for BMW thinking that you wouldn't want any stash pockets on an advenrure bike!

Doesn't have a clear top though.

If you mean this one; it looks good, but it's larger than I would need;

That actually looks quite perfect for what I would need. Must go have a look. Maybe I could replace the magnets with something else, or maybe make a magnetic base on my faux tank... :mmmm

I wasn't very keen on handlebar bags, but that one could do the trick, especially on the F800GS where we have the "junk" on the faux tank. I'd love to have a look at it. :thumb2 No rush. :)

You could try the new range of plastic magnet's ....

they're really difficult to get off though. You wouldn't want to scratch the paint in such an obviously place.

Yeah, but matching them is really hard work as they've got three poles, not just north and south like the metal magnets but north, south and equator.
Can't be bothered to match up the ones that attract and so forth.
As for scratching paint; I've got my bike vinyl wrapped. :D :thumb2
 
It's not the size that matters !

It's not that big as it follows the curve of the tank. Bear this in mind with any other bag you buy, it could be quite tall compared to a curved base one like mine.
Mine can just hold a pair of decent gloves and a kenwood radio inside the main compartment. The phone sits in the clear compartment on top, and the small back pocket has a puncture kit in it.


Price wise I think it's a bargain compared to all the various Bagster/Oxford ones I've owned and now sold.

Found it. Not exactly the same as mine, just seems to be an updated version.
