Hopnel Tank Bag with Map Holder for GL1800

[bobbyf6b]

I want to extend my gratitude to taxfree4 for the Hopnel "tank" bag! Thank you very much!

I finally figured out how to mount it so I wanted to share with you and others to check it out. I had to pull up the dash and remove two screws by the key to get the strap under where it's supposed to go. The strap was too long so I tied it in a knot and the knot is hidden under the plastic. The base is held on by inserting the tabs into the gas filler and velcro holds it at the top. Then the bag sits on top of the base. Pretty cool. If you pull the top off you can get gas and if you want to use the drink holder just leave it off. Here's some pics.

Bobby,
What is that knob next to the keyhole? Is that a mount of some sort?

I'm glad you asked. It's a cool phone mounting system called Quad Lock. I didn't like my phone on the bars so I stick it right there. When locked its at an angle so the bars don't hit it.

I have one on my Sportster and on the dashboard of my work truck.

Looking on that website it looks like you have the adhesive mount with 6-8 Gauge screw

I only use the tape. Screw is optional. The tape is the really good 3M stuff.

Bobby,
I'd like to have "first right of refusal" if you ever decide to part with it.
Thanks,
Tim
