..........a Moto Fizz seat bag that I like alot but don't know about thier tankbags. I can tell you that I use an RKA 16L tankbag (expandable, magnetic) & it's great. 26k+ miles on my ST4s & no marks on my tank yet. Also it's made in USA. Nice low profile plus the option to expand. Hope this helps.

Thanks Gregg, I too have a Motofizz seat bag and it's a great product which is why I'm interested in their Quick Release tank bag system. I'm afraid I'm a tank bag junky as I already have several, both strap and magnetic mounts. The problem I've encountered with them is on long rides in grimy grubby weather conditions enough grit works it's way under them that scratching occurs. Refueling is another sore spot as it requires removing or sliding the bag off to the side and back. One of the most recent bags I've tried is the
FAMSA system with the exposed gas cap cut out. That seems to work well but the bag is a monster, size-wise.
The biggest damage I ever sustained occurred when I set my magnetic bag down on the parking lot for a moment and then remounted it without checking the bottom. The magnets attracted a host of metallic granules and the resulting damage was awful. Luckily it wasn't on the Duc but it still stung a lot as the black paint took a real beating before I discovered it.
In addition to keeping the tank waxed I've also used that expanded rubber sheeting available as shelf liner. It works to a point but if you encounter much dust & grit I think the small openings act as traps for it. I make it a point to clean the tank daily before returning the bag so I'm always starting with a clean surface.
So...still waiting to see if anyone has tried the MotoFizz system.
Thanks,
LL
