Any experiences/feedback for using tank bags with a bagger?
I am planning an extensive road tour this summer, and thinking of using a tank bag this time. I find that most are not suitable for a bagger, they cover the speedo and gas cap. I am looking for feedback/recommendations for makes that would do the job.
Thanks for any input.

I believe Marsee (sp) makes on with a tunnel on the bottom for the dash. Don't believe it will cover the speedo but will probaly hide it from view. The most important part is there is no such thing as scratch proof bottom. It will eventually mark, actually rubs and clear coat will become cloudy. I bought a roll of window tint from autoparts store, cut size you need then cut into three: one for dash, one for left side and right side. Don't try to do it in one piece it won't lay flat coming off the dash onto the tank and as a result the wind will catch it and lift a litte . The dirt and dust will collect under and scratch the heck out of the tank. You won't be able to make the contours of the tank either really is worth the hassle I made a template cut a few sets and throw in a baggie for trips, if I clean the bike on the road (rarely) I put a new set down never use the old ones can't tell which side is the clean side. takes all of 30 seconds once you get the hang of it and have had the same roll of tint for a few years.

Great idea using the window tint as a protector. I have to remember that one.
Any idea of the Marsee model #?. I checked their web site, no hits for a tunnel model. I did find one at eGlideTGoodies.com, (MTB 1B model), but have no idea of this make. Anyone used this company?.
