883 Tank Bag?

I'll be the first to admit this may be a bit of a long shot, but...

Does anyone know of a tank bag that will fit a 2015 883? Does anyone have/use one? If so, good points? Bad points?

Thanks!

I use a Joe Rocket manta which I've had for a while. It's magnetic and non marring.not a huge bag but big enough.

Thanks! Though the reviews say it'll stay on even at speed, I'm a little leery of the magnetic attachment thing. One review, though, says it's possible to use a secondary strap. Price looks good too.

I should have looked there first. Thanks!

Though it seems a little pricey compared, for instance, to the Joe Rocket Manta, I have a feeling that the quality would be there to make it worthwhile. It seems to have a good strap attachment system, and it looks good too.

Have to make a trip to my dealership and see one in the flesh.

Unfortunately you get the HD mark-up, but it looks like a decent bag. Enjoy!
