Tank Bag

[2006FJR]

I have a powered tank bag and have everything chaging when I ride. It is also good for plugging in your heated gear.

I will have a Canadian Part # and pricing on the new Yamaha tank bag in a couple of weeks. Stand by.

Suggestions for a good tank bag? Pictures and rationale?
Thanks

I went with this one: https://www.newenoughhp.com/luggage/tank_ba...e_tank_bag.html

Added powerlet outlets to it to handle electrical requirements. Looks cool, fade resistant and basically water resistant. Went with Carbon Fibre top...........did I say it looks cool?

Don't buy an OGIO unless you want to ruin the paint job on your tank.

Soft bottom is better!

Hard bottom and tiny stong magnets kills your paint.

Now to find a price and if it can actually be had somewhere....

Standby...

Do you know where one can purchase this bag?

I have inquired with the Canadian folks and they are checking... Have not heard back yet.

As previously discussed:https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...489&hl=tank

... and as stated in post #21, Nelson-Rigg CL-350 for me. My all time favorite long distance tank bag.

Best wishes for finding one that meets your needs.

Quoting myself seems weird, but....

...just wanted to add with 140,000+ miles (albeit not all on my FJR), my Nelson-Rigg CL350 tank bag is going strong and is still my all-time fav tank bag.

If you find something, I'd like to know too.

I emailed a Yamaha dealer in Vancouver myself. Will let you know if anything positive comes back.

BTW the bag is shown on this UK Yamaha site: https://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/accessories/...ur/FJR1300////2

Also shown, on an alternate page, are FJR "City Bags". Narrow versions of our double-walled standard bags. One more thing we CANT HAVE here. What's up with that? Would it kill them to offer this stuff stateside????

Has any body tried the Yamaha Expandable Tank Bag # GYP-5JJ64-11-BW? Looks nice on the Yamaha site but I would like a review before ordering.

Don't forget Linda Tanner's system - LindaT on the FJR

That is awesome! I want one of those.

I just got an email back from Pacific Yamaha BMW in Vancouver.

They said the part number for the new Euro FJR bag doesn't show up on their Canadian Yamaha part list.

Might be able to order it via a UK supplier. Don't know.

My experience at Pacific Yamaha was poor. I found the older euro version of that tank bag at Western Powersports and it was on sale too! I just happened to stop by their store one day and there it was for less than $100cad all in! One of my best finds so far. Needless to say that I have returned to that store and always receive excellent, friendly service. I have no affiliation, just happy to get the level of service that is difficult to find these days.

Nope. They don't care them either. Thanks for the lead though.

I got a Fieldsheer Countour--seems like a good bag for the money. The magnets are super strong. It expands, and you can also zip off the whole bag and just use the base which is clear for a map pouch. It's got some nice reflective 3M on it too.

I have a Dowco Fastrax Elite that I'll be putting a few thousand miles on at the end of the month.

Nice big mapcase, pockets, little flashy color swatches, spot for a hydration bladder (not included). My only complaint so far is that the velcro holding the mapcase on really doesn't cut it in crosswinds. Yay for having fast reflexes, though. I plan to get some snaps/buttons/zippers sewn on to better hold it in place.

I've got the Axio hard tailbag holding down the passenger seat and I really like that, too (I like it even more now that it's got a few coats of tent-sealing silicone on it...) - I'd read reviews that said the Axio tankbag was just a smidge wide for the FJR's bars.

Scott, may I suggest starting your own thread? This info will be somewhat buried in this long thread.

I am also a minimal minimalist, I also have the smaller Nelson-Rigg, I don't even use the hardbags, the Nelson easily holds the one spare pair of underwear I bring on my week long stints.

That's not for routine changing, right? On a measly one weeker. The one spare pair is for emergencies only - you know, the kind that pucker the sphincter, but don't get it ALL the way closed???
