I know that tank bags have been done to death and I've used the search button. The search button has been my friend, as usually I don't have to post to find what I need.

I'm in the USA and thought I'd try this site, as there isn't much information about the following products over here.

My options are the following:

1) Top Saddlery (apparently like bagster) tank cover and bag. I found that cm seats in the UK is much cheaper on these than the manufacturer. The manufacturer states I can use the Arizona bag, but cm seats so that's a no go and I'd have to use the Aventura bag. Does any one have any advice on this brand and if you do what bags will actually fit/work with the GSA? Cm seats £153.97 shipped and the manufacturer £224.00 shipped for bag and cover.

2) We do have a bagster dealer in the USA, no website, but they told me it would be $334.00 or £234.00 shipped, for the tank cover and alpha bag. I had a bagster on my '98 k1200rs and it was great, but the price, yikes! I put in a request to busters accessories today for the bagster, it seems their prices are on par with top saddlery, but I don't know if they ship to the USA.

3) We have Famsa dealer in the USA, price on the Art. 244 is £140.10 shipped. I've never had a Famsa, but it seems highly recommended on this site.

I know about other bags like the marsee corona and sw motech that lock on to the filler cap, but they don't do it for me, I don't know why. I also don't want a bag with a bunch of straps to mess with.

Please help me out, before I drive myself crazy and put down some serious cash. Is the bagster worth the extra money over the other bags?

Sorry to have such a long first post, but I think you guys/gals can handle it.
