This is the tank made by DP specifically for the Monster. The bag is not magnetic so it will fit on all Monsters (metal or plastic tank). It uses straps to hold the bag in place. the front wraps under the front part of the trellis and fastens together. The rear part of the bag has elastic-type straps which fasten directly to the trellis beneath the rider. The bag detaches from the base via a zipper to convert into a pretty nice backpack. I had an issue with the zipper which fastens to the base -- the tab snapped off -- but I fashioned a new tab out of a ring and leather strap (you can see it in the photos below). The bag expands to nearly double its size and can hold a lot. I carry spare helmet once in a while and actually all mine and my girls clothes and stuff for a few weekend trips. The top has a clear case for maps and can accept a whole piece of 8.5 x 11 paper -- which is cool if you've had to fold your maps to accommodate too small of a viewer. It also has a rain cover which is tucked in underneath. This works very well. The cover is a little on the soft side, though, and I had to put a little duck-tape on one of the rear-facing edges. In spite of this, it keeps stuff completely dry. I've used it on a couple >1 hr very wet days and not a drop of water gets inside. You can probably tell from the photos that it has a bright reflective stripe around the edge for improved visibility at night. [thumbsup]
I bought the tank bag this summer and used it a fair bit this year. I carried my laptop and change of clothes in it every day this summer/fall to work. But, I've bought the tank bra/bag combination and have no need for this bag anymore. My tank is getting scratched up in the city (I'm sure you've read my other posts about how many times I've been hit by cages while parked) so I've decided to limit future damage with the tank bra. The tank bra requires a different bag attachment style. So, I'm selling this soft one onto to someone else.
I paid $125 for it at the dealer so will start the price at $100 $85 or best offer. I want to get rid of it so email/pm me if you're interested or if you have any questions.
