who here is using the deluxe tank bag on their xbR?
what about the tail bag?

i just ordered both for my 1125

curious for the tank bag - does it ever affect you when hitting the curves?

The tank bag is the best place to carry any weight on a motorcycle.
I don't notice any difference in the way my bike handles using the tank bag.

do you ever have an issue with it getting in the way?

i dont ever go into a full tuck
and ive never paid attention to arm movement when riding, but im hoping it wont be an issue.

i use the tail bag on my cityx. i call it my motorcycle man purse. if you have it expanded you can get a helmet visor in it. i also carried my smokes, car keys, a bottle of water to work or breakfast from mc d's on my way home from work in the morning.

I have an XB9S. The bag never gets in my way.

I have the deluxe tank bag on an xb9sl. It's a really good bag. I expect you'll like it. I use a cortech tail bag which is essentially the same as the larger Buell tail bag, but it attaches with a bungee system so it can be used without the Buell saddlebags.
