Motorcycle Tank Bags

A tank bag puts your essentials where you can actually reach them. Phone, wallet, tools, snacks and rain gear ride right in front of you instead of buried in a saddlebag, and most bags lift off in seconds when you park. For commuters and tourers alike it is the single most useful piece of soft luggage on a motorcycle.

Magnetic, Strap On or Tanklock?

Magnetic tank bags are the fastest to mount but only work on steel tanks, so check yours with a fridge magnet first. Strap on bags fit any tank including plastic and aluminum, using the steering head and seat as anchor points. Givi and Kappa Tanklock bags click into a ring bolted to your fuel filler flange for a rock solid mount with zero paint contact, and the ring stays on the bike when the bag comes off.

Sizing and Fitment

Small bags in the 3 to 5 litre range hold a phone, documents and a snack without blocking your view of the gauges. Mid size 10 to 15 litre bags swallow a rain suit and a DSLR. Expandable bags in the 20 litre plus range work as weekend luggage but check your bar clearance at full lock before you buy. Tanklock fitment is model specific, so confirm the ring part number for your bike before ordering.
