The Nelson-Rigg company sent me this tank bag to review on the site and I agreed as long as I could use it as a giveaway for the 2010 NatSTOC event.
I am posting my initial impressions of this bag.
I am posting my initial impressions of this bag.
- Quality - This is a very nice bag, all the seams and zippers are
nice and I don't see any weak point from that aspect.
There's event a plastic stiffener included to put in the front of the bag to
help keep it's shape.
- Versatility - The optional 3 (Triple Threat) types of attachment
connections were sent with this bag - sold separately - and provide 3
different ways to attach the bag to the bike. They are the magnetic, hook
and suction cup mounting systems.
The basic bag comes with typical strap mounts inside. - Mounting - The mounting points are hidden nicely behind some
vencro and piviot out.
For the ST1300, I used the magnetic mounting attachments.
The interesting part of the attachment points 'swiveling' is you can use the
magnets to position them just about anywhere on the tank.
- Other - The rain cover on this thing is exceptional, it's a much more
substantial than some of the other tank bag rain covers I've seen and it's
also expandable to match the tank bag when expanded.
Overall, this is a very nice bag with a versatile mounting system and more than
adequate storage space.
You can purchase the bag and see more about it and the other CL bags that utilize the Triple Thread mounting system at the Neson-Rigg site:
