Tank topbox
02/10/14 11:17 PM
Hi guys,
Anyone here got something like this? I would like to get it, but it looks to be only available in Japan.

Thats cool if it's magnetic. Not sure I would want it on there all the time. Did you check ebay?

darkarcher,
I'm not sure of the different methods for attaching it, but it can't be magnetic because it is positioned on the plastic cover on the tank. I have checked ebay and nothing.
I agree with having it on all the time but I think the benefit of easily accessible storage in town eg. wallet, cellphone etc. will make up for the look.

It looks like a good idea, unfortunately having a damper would most likely interfere.... Unless you have one of those mounted the the fork tube.

That's pretty neat, if you've only got a couple of things to haul around and don't want to wear a backpack that looks to be a great option.
The google translate page does leave at least one question in my mind however, which is what did they mean by this...
"In normal tank on, accessory case casually! ! ... Sucker ...! ! "
Sucker??

I would prefer if it were a factory type replacement of the top cover over the gas tank. as in, remove the oem piece and bolt in this, making it more permanent. but Velcro? hmmm, lame. also it doesn't look like it locks, just has a latch. again, lame.
Ill stick with my tank bag that doubles as a small backpack, so I can take it with me if I'm away from the bike.

I had an Ogio Tanker (the big one). They don't make them anymore, just the super mini (which is too small).
I wish they did still make them, I would buy a new one. It only secures by a strap around the stem and with magnets; but the bag part unzips off the base and has a shoulder strap to be used as a backpack.
It was lost when my bike was stolen last fall. Now I want another. Or something like what is posted here, if it were permanent; I could go for that. Otherwise I will use my old joe rocket tank bag until I find something that I can live with.
this was it:

if you wanted it more permanent you could just take the stock plastic cover off the gas tank, and physically bolt this down to the cover, then put the cover back on the bike. Down side would be obviously drilling 1 or 2 small holes in the stock fairing. OR pick up a 2nd tank fairing and bolt it to the extra one. lol
I do really like this idea. Im broke, but I want this. lol
