[QUOTE="Pale Rider 07, post: 872697, member: 20069"] Co FJR...I have gone the same route with the Dryver bag. Just getting the wiring set up now. Hopefully I can get a couple of pics posted tomorrow. I love this new tank bag. I don't get how anyone can sell a tank bag that is not waterproof. Here in Florida, the storms pop up so fast, I don't want to be hassled with digging out a rain cover for the tank bag. I took a chance and bought the larger one. Fits fine and I love all the space inside the bag. Cortech really got this one right. The lid of the bag has a magnetic latch on the back, closest to the rider. When the weather is good, you can leave the bag unzipped and easily open and close it. Weather turns bad, just close the zippers and you are set. No need to pull over. I'm also loving the quick release from the tank. Now I take the bag off and stow it in the trunk while at work. Fuel stops are easier as well. I made a couple of changes with the GPS bag. I was able to mount a RAM GPS cradle for my Nuvi inside the bag. I bolted the cradle directly to the back plate of the bag. When the weather is good, I can run with the bag open so I'm not looking at the screen through the clear plastic. This also meant that I did not have to use any of the foam padding, so the Nuvi gets plenty of air circulation around the unit. I also flipped the GPS bag upside down, so that when unzipped, the cover lays flat on top of the tank bag. You can even tuck it under the map holder. Pretty clean solution. When the rain starts, just zip the bag closed. Once again, no need to pull over. I suspect this will become a popular bag with our group, if it holds up. Construction seems very good though, so I'm hopeful. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
