Perfect for my Tenere 700
I'd been looking for a simple tank bag about this size for a while now. I realized that the 14L bag I was using was just too damn big and the 6L MoskoMoto Nomad I tried was just too small. At 11L, this bag is the perfect size for me. The Revzilla video review had me a bit concerned and I dithered for quite a while before pulling the trigger. They fixed every issue and made it just about perfect! The waterproof liner is now removable and the snap closure has been replaced with a big plastic buckle. My only complaint is that if I try to really cinch down the mounting bra it spreads apart such that the bag doesn't fit well. I corrected it by placing an old buckle strap around the two forward straps to keep them from spreading. Seems to work ok, and it's a minor complaint.
Designed very well, very compact. Will fit most bikes. Overall size is small, limited in the gear you can carry.
This is a very well made bag. I'm using it on my BMW K75 and it fits very well. The "flip to the side" design works just like the BMW OEM MultiVario design. The fuel cap cutout in the base is large enough to access and open the fuel cap on K bikes. I wish the bag was a little larger and longer. The width is just right (for me) but an extra inch in length and height would make a big difference in carrying capacity. It would be great if AltRider supplied a plastic rectangular insert equal to the interior bag dimensions that could be used to shape the waterproof liner. Currently the bag liner makes organizing the bag contents cumbersome. Alternatively it would be nice if the waterproof liner were removable. It would also be nice to have heavy-duty velcro strips on the exterior sides of the bag so that small things might be mounted (like a flashlight or small pouch.)
Not the biggest bag, but the best tankbag I've purchased over the last 40 years of riding! Shows made in U.S.A. still means something!
Does exactly what the specs say...
I had been waiting for the AltRider Tank Bag to come out and it was worth the wait! Installed it on my BMW 800GS in about ten minutes. Great looking bag and fit the bike well. I like the zip off feature, water proof liner, map loads from inside, and one hand open feature! And it's made in USA! Cost is high but well worth it. (2012 BMW F800GS)
