Another strong recommendation here for the expandable large (magnetic)Marsee. I've been using various tank bags since the 1970's (remember the Eclipse?), and the Marsee is hands down the best designed and most durable I've found. Had one for about 5 years now: no regrets, I would buy another without a doubt.

I just picked up the Cortech Mini Tank bag & I think it is going to work out very nicely.
I was going to buy a Cargo, but felt the magnets were very thick compared to the Cortech. The Cortech just seemed a better fit & the price was right.

Hey Mark,
Show us some pics on your ST tank, the Cortech would be the only one I considered suitable as well.

MazDuc,
I don't have the Cargo Basic bag, but I do have the Cargo.
Cycle Gear - CARGO: Endurance Sport Tank Bag, BLACK
I love that bag! I have taken it on road trips to Ohio, TX, CO, UT, CA, AZ, and all over NM since 2006.
Great map sleeve that is larger that the small ones on the Cortech bags. The magnets are monster strong and have held tight on 40 mile and hour side winds.
The bag improves my life also! I got a raise at work, my teenager no longer talks back and my wife allows me to go on more road trips!

Have you got a link to this bag you mention, & does it interfere with refuelling?
Thanks,

No Craig, it doesn't interfere with refuelling. There is a special mount for on the fuel ring. You easily dis-attach the bag by pulling a cord.
