I know several people have mentioned trying to epoxy strong magnets on the underside of the airbox cover so a magnetic tank bag could be used. I also found 1 account of a bag flying off at 80 mph. Has anyone tried this and had it work well? I found a bag that I really like, but it is only offered in a magnetic configuration.

i've thought of trying this too.
epoxying some ferrous metallic buell logos on the outside might look tacky, or not be a clean look.

got 9 bucks?

i don't think you'd have any problems at 80 mph's with the 8-pack

i got one of the 1 inch rods and put it on my kick stand for stoplights where i'm the only one in the left-turn lane.
