I use the Cortech 21 litre Tank Bag.

It's a 2 piece modular unit that lets you tailor the capacity to meet your needs.

1. I use the top section only for half day outings.
2. Use just the lower section for over night trips.
3. Use both sections together for long touring trips.

Krav, have you experienced any turbulence around your head when you ride with the tank bag? I find I feel my helmet getting pushed up on my forehead when I have the tank bag on. Same riding position, same tension on my chin strap, just feel my helmet getting pushed back into my forehead and a lot of turbulence at the bottom.

Yes, its on my 1125, I haven't experienced any extra turbulence, and it seems to work really well. I haven't went on any roadtrips yet, so I haven't really tried to pack it full yet. So far though, I think its been a great buy. I don't have to lug around a stupid backpack. It fits pretty snug too!
