Title: Tankbag recommendations?
Post by: JaimeC on August 16, 2019, 05:15:27 PM: Posted this over on Facebook but didn't get any useful responses (yet). I'm thinking to getting the 6 kWh Charge Tank and looking for a tank bag to stow the stuff currently in the storage compartment. I don't want to use the trunk because everything will rattle around in it. I can store the paperwork in the license plate box I used to use on my 2016 S (because that one's storage area was NOT waterproof) but I've got some other items that won't fit. At least with the Charge Tank, I won't have to carry the J1772 adapter anymore, and I can put that up for sale here (which is how I got it in the first place).

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for tank-side bags, to carrys stuff, but to also protect the side plastics a bit on a different motorcycle (my Zero has the SP crash bar), I ordered this one to try:

This was a bit finicky to get mounted nicely, but once I figured it out -- well, it's a great bag and, IMHO, looks great mounted on my SR (I can try to post a picture if you're interested)

Thanks!

I removed the seat, wrapped the strap around the frame rail and after adjusting the length, cut off the excess and used a match to "melt" the end to keep it from unraveling. Then I just replaced the seat. Easy-peasey! The front strap wrapped around the neck tube after routing them UNDER the wires and cables so they wouldn't pinch anything. When I need to charge, I just release the front two clips and flip the bag over the saddle to uncover the L2 Charge Port on the "tank."
