New enough has a smokin deal on this tankbag, but I cant really tell how big it is. I am looking for a large tankbag like I had at the rally that I can just plant my chest into and ride forever. Anyone have any experience with this particular bag?

I have a Nelson Rigg that looks like that, but is a "strap on" (:citadel) and it works fantastically as a chest support on long rides. It's enormous.

Not my bag, It was borrowed, and is now back with its owner. I'm gonna wind up buying the same bag, I really like it and it is super expandable and comfortable to ride with.

I have the CL-450. Used it once on the Buell, for that bike, it's too big for my liking as a tank bag, so on the return trip I used it as a tail bag. Much better fit. I just really don't like a big tank bag, and the Buell's airbox is higher anyway, so easy to lay down on.

I'm looking for a big bag. This is the bag I used for the rally, and I love it. Its not good for twisties because it flopped around a bit, and it was so big, but for the 800 mile trip down there it was great because I just leaned into it and was happy. It really is a big bag, and one time (following trip over some railroad tracks from his house to copperhead) it gave me a little bump on the chin that I wasnt expecting.

I have the NR bag....reasonable size for daily use...expands into a massive tower that you can rest your chest on for long drones down the interstate.

I have the magnetic version and have never had it flop around; although it had slid a little when heavily loaded and flailing around on some bumpy twisties.

What I like about the bag is that there is always room for ONE MORE THING.......

Yeah, that's about the size of mine.
Like I said, haven't used it except for that one trip, too big for my taste.

Um, not going to just send it to you, but PM me a reasonable offer and I'll sell it to you.

How soon do you need it?
