In search of a solidly secured non-magnetic tankbag for my 2000 VFR800.

Here's a picture of my riding position and what's required of my tankbag:

My whole upperboddy weight is resting against the tankbag, with magnetic tankbags, they just move around too much for me to truly "rest" against them..

Anyone have a suggestion to a well secured non-magnetic tankbag for VFR800?

Could you get your foot any closer to the rear tire? ohmy.gif

It's hard to see, but my shins are resting on the passenger footpegs.
The forehead of my helmet is resting against the windshield.
The driveshaft/swingarm prevents the foot from getting to the rear wheel.

Interesting enough, at 90+mph that is my riding position for those long highway miles.. the rider who took that picture of watched me for long enough period of time to get close, pull out his camera and snap the shot. He said the whole time I did not move a muscle.
