Needing to warm the bike up ahead of a gearbox oil change, thought I'd try out the SW-Motech ION M tailbag I bought a few weeks ago to grab a bit of shopping from Tesco. Never an exciting experience.
Once there, the bag will just swallow my size ML AGV X3000 & gloves rather than carting them around a packed weekend supermarket.
A tight fit, but I could have increased the capacity a little by unzipping the sides outwards...
Here's an idea of what it will take (other products are available )...
I think it's a great bag that I hope to test on a long weekend break soon. It seems durable and with enough space for what I need and doesn't look too bad on the bike. The annoying strapping system is it's biggest let down for me. Far too fiddly and I know if I was taking this bag off & on the bike regularly I would end up frustrated. I wish they'd have fitted beefier clip in straps used on most other soft luggage. Much less hassle.
Sun is out. Commando running well & quoffing a nice filter coffee with Steely Dan blasting through the hi-fi while I let the last of the old gearbox oil drip out.
Good times
