Hey All,
in my opinion a combination of magnetic and ropes are the best solution.
I got a magnetic tankbak you can use during driving normal streets with "normal"
weight in it, and additionaly during driving offroad and/or with heavy weight in it
you can easely fix some ropes on it. This four little ropes are normaly for using the tankbag
as "back-bag" at the baggage porter (none magnetic ground). But these ropes work fine
at the tank, too. They have a kind of hook (Haken) at one end, you can put under the tank.
Also, making a stop at the gas station, the tankbak with the ropes is easy to dismantle.
I bought this model from Polo (around 180 DM). Looks very expensive, but the price is it worth.
For the detailed model name I have to look at the bill.
