[QUOTE="Copacetic, post: 1171334, member: 20239"] Just got back from a 2000 mile ride and have the new Yamaha tank bag system. Pros: [LIST][*]Zippers worked fine - no failures - same quality as my last Yamaha bag. [*]No major interference with steering - only minor at extremes. I have the MV adapter and not a problem. [*]Good solid mount - does not move around - if you have the straps done right. [*]Quick on/off when fueling. [/LIST] Cons: [LIST][*]Rain does get in on bottom front edge [*]Rain cover is very tight [*]Rain cover tends to lift off the bag at speed [*]Supplied strapping is very long on each buckle [/LIST] I like the design and plan to keep using it. For the rain, I will just use a plastic bag as a liner. I also put a small strap around the rain cover to keep it on. If you keep the base clean underneath and keep the straps tight - tank damage should be no worse than any other direct mount bag. [/QUOTE]
