Cool Tank Bag (s)

The DP offering(s) are pretty good (maybe) if you have a red Hyper. As usual the instructions are poor and the whole enchilada depends on a good anchor point at the rear of the plastic (carbon fiber) tank shroud. Try putting the seat back on with the tank cover in place, it's not pretty. (reminds me a lot of fitting the 2 into 1 pipe of the Termi racing exhaust onto the two header pipes).

Anyway.

Have any of you found an aftermarket tank bag (expandable) that is a good candidate for the Hyper??

I love the scene from one of the Cannonball race movies where the Italian pitches his rear view mirror and says, "what's a behind me, is not a my problem". This sums it up for me pretty well when it comes to Italian road going machinery, but I'll keep doing it until I need glasses

Check out RKA bags, I've looked there and am thinking of getting one of their tank bags. They have some pics of them mounted on a Hyper that I think look just fine.
