So I purchased this tank bag right after I got my bike. I've struggled with it moving around more than I liked. Magnet mounted bags are what I have always used. But the single magnet on this one is not really as strong as other brands. I know there are dozens of different tank bags from strap mounted to tank ring styles. IMHO the fit and design of the one I got is really nice. I just like the way it molds perfectly around the tank and the looks.
So today I spent a good hour analyzing and decided to try something. At first I used the rock straps. No good way to fit them without removing the seat to get tank bag off. So I went through all my straps and and found the solution. Mosko Moto to the rescue!! I used a few brand new spare straps. Tank bag is now rock solid, easy to remove and I'm pleased. I also used a little blue painters tape under the bag where it was starting to wear the paint. The reality is this bag is pretty much a permanent fixture to the bike. I'm sure over time the underside will wear the paint to some degree.
I almost ditched this bag and got the Giant Loop setup. IMHO this is the hot ticket for our bikes. Pricy but something I might consider down the road. Thank you dmulk!

I was also contemplating the new SW Motech GS tank bag. The City bag has been discontinued and replaced with the GS bag. It's super humongous!! 16-22 liters and a foot wide. Way Too big!!
I'm happy with what I have now. Perfect fit!! 8 liters is more than enough for snacks, wipes, maps etc. Very simple to remove and replace with quick clips. And the straps are tucked away under the seat.
Best of all It's made for the Super Tenere. It even has the logo!! Yamaha did it right with this bag.
