Information About Riding A HONDA AFRICA TWIN 1100 L (2024)

Another question - any 'secrets' to securing a tank bag to an African Twin?
I know some bikes have little 'handy' metal loops for that and with some bikes it is a real 'challenge'.
Experiences in that area?
I'm thinking a small tank bag would be a handy place to carry some of my 'electronics'.

I was hoping someone could answer that but AI says... ;)

A magnetic tank bag can work on a Honda Africa Twin because the main fuel tank has steel sections that allow magnets to grip, though riders generally exercise caution and prefer strap-mount, harness-mount, or quick-release ring systems.

It would be with straps not magnets (the type of tank bags I already have).
I'm also looking into a handlebar bag which would be less intrusive and still serve the purpose.

It appears that a magnetic one could be a bit 'insecure' on this particular bike if 'AI' is to be believed. ;)
Besides, I don't fancy buying a mag tank bag for just this trip.
I am not a real fan of tank bags anyway though I have them and used them on overseas trips for the extra storage.
