Subject: RE: Baggster
Hi,
I have the baggster tankcover + tankbag (in black colour :-). The cover is okay,
but I don't like the bag. The main problem is, that the mounting between bag and
tankcover is quite weak, meantimes, it is detroyed at my bike :-(((, can't mount
the bag again. Also, with mounted tank bag, you can't move the stearing to its
most extent.
The cover I like much, have no scratches in my tank (even falling often down
from my bike offroads). Also, my knees like it much; when your socia comes from
behind at harsh breaks, you are able to save your testicles by having some
"reibung" between knees and tankprotector :-)))
>> magnets bag
unfortunaly, there is the air filter, which is not magnetic at all. The (maybe)
best solution are tank bags with "ropes" (Riemen). Maybe some other xrv-list'er
knows more. Meantimes, I have build up my own "tankpad" out off an old bag.
Looks ugly, but is good. Maybe you see it on the Photos on the second meeting...
>>>opinion on the investion
yup, would not buy it again, maybe only the protector. If you find a good "other
tank bag", keep me informed, maybe I'll exchange my ugly selfbuild one...
have a nice slide, Martin
P.S.

Main stand is good for changing tires and changing the chain, so another squid
test:
have you ever take a reserve tire or a spare chain and sprockets with you ?
what I mean is, normaly you do those things in your garage (or at honda service
:-), without propper tools, you won't have chance to change the chain or mount a
new tire (mean mounting the rubber on the steel wheel).
