    How would you attach my cool 'tank bag'?

    Hello,

    I want to use a fanny bag as my tank bag! So anyone got an idea how i might attach it? I only need to just hold it on each side, not real strong, not much wind there.... I called 3M and there command strips are not to be used on paint.. (those easy remove clips for hanging pics on the walls) so not sure...

    I don't' know how to take apart all that plastic to add something like a strap. I was thinking about some thing to stick to 'tank' and have it clip/attach to the sides of the bag.

    Oh well....

    Please let me know what you are thinking.

    -Mac

    Kiss your paint goodbye. Unless you cover the areas that it touches with a clear plastic paint guard you will be very unhappy. The new type of paint will not tolerate any thing laying on it. I think Motion Pro has a peal and stick product.

    oh yea... I've got a whiteboard on my cubby I use it a lot.....

    cover up fuel door, yep, that's why i need a minimal way to install so just easily lift it off.... I think it will be great... I'm gonna mount my phone on the TB as well.... I like it there as opposed to handlebars vibration and all... just my opinion...

    How about sewing some elastic about 2" wide to the back of it. Open the fuel door, place loop over the door and close it.

    Why not just wear it! This way the tank area stays clean and no scratches on the paint.

    Because "cool fanny pack" is an oxymoron!

    Here's another suggestion.

    I got the Hopnel HD90-101BKC from Amazon. I removed the stitching on the plastic EZ-Mount clip from the "back" piece and bolted it to the lower right side shelter. You can get EZ-Mount Belt Holder so you can hang all the various bags that Big Bike Parts.
