Default Thanks, that's what I was worried about... sorry

Thanks, that does it for me, I'm not putting stuff on my tank. I like keepin' her purdy! Sorry you had to find out the hard way and thanks for telling me so I don't have to.

I actually have the Scout, not the XL. It holds on good enough, but the wings could be a bit longer IMO. The XL looks like it would work better for the Harley's with a dash. Jerry

If you do buy a tankbag with a window in the top, you could buy a cheap auto gps and tuck in there. No need for an expensive Zumo!
