Tank Bag
Not something you see frequently on an HD, however what model tank bag do you like for a Street Glide.
I like to have the ability to reach down while driving and grab some snacks, speed pass, gum, chap stick, good place to put your cell phone and maybe a flask.
Thanks for your help.

I have an old tank bag, you know the kind with the magnets in fabric tabs and some straps...just doesn;t work well on a Harley tank with the dash. I considered removing the dash, but the overflow is hidden under there
most of the items you mention I carry in a tbag windscreen 3 pocket- I also added fairing lowers for the glove boxes, i use them all the time.
and i use crash bar bags for water and coffee.
I also add hydrocortizone creme to that list...it keeps my nose from itching when I ride.
and suncreen

I have a generic bag with clear plastic pouch on top to hold map.... heavy magnets to hold it on and at least 8x11 compartment. a bit big and bulky, but holds a bunch of crap. only down side is that it is not waterproof. use it on trips.... holds gps, or phone, I-pod, or whatever I need.... and comes off and take with me. bought it at a local metric store for around $50 and the parts guy gave me a 10% preferred customer discount!!

Been using tank bags most of my riding life, of various brands, although I don't currently have one for my Glide. Smaller magnetic bags are fine, but larger ones really need additional straps IMHO, to keep them in place. I have a small magnetic Givi for my Sportster and they have a comprehensive range.
Givi is the first company ever which has denied me access to a website! Looking in from the UK I can usually access US websites without any problems, but Givi won't let me look at their USA website, to compare notes. They are however good products and there may be something available that fits the bill.

Maybe the Kuryakyn Essentials Tank Bag will work for you.

I have a small tank bag (old- bout back in the mid 1980's - 6"w x 8"L x 4" H) with magnets that I use on long trips. It is very handy. The only problem is dirt will get trapped under it and my paint got scratched, I started using tape to protect the paint. Maybe the strap down bags would not trap the road dirt like mine does.
