Magnetic tank bags are extremely convenient but I am really pissed off at mine right now. I got home from a 500mi ride yesterday and as I'm washing the bugs and road grime off my baby when I noticed that some small metallic debris has found a new home on the tank side of the magnets, the result is a number of small but obnoxious scratches on the sides of my tank. Probably wouldn't have been an issue if I hadn't gotten lazy about how I take the bag off, but I hadn't really thought about it before now.
I had one made by Endurance Cargo.....nice bag that doubled as a backpack. If anyone is driving up I-5 near Red Bluff and sees it on the side of the road......pick it up and enjoy it.It has a pair of Vans size 10 in it .Also a CO2 tire repair inflation kit inside.I took it off my tank to put gas in and did not put it back on the tank and it rolled out of the trailer somewhere.
I have a Marsee magnetic tank bag. It's very sturdy, roomy and 100% waterproof. However, I had the exact same problem with little metal shavings getting stuck to the magnets & scratching my tank with my last bike. I am always careful with that thing now.
