I was wondering what everyone does for storage. I currently have a cargo net that I use to hold a knap sack on the passenger seat if I need to carry anything. I was thinking about getting a tank bag and was wondering if anyone has a particular type they would recommend. Please include the make and model or where I could order. Pictures or links to pics would be even better. B)

tank bags can be bought at almost any bike shop. Swap meets,etc. the range from like 25-200 depends on what exactly your looking for.Dennis kirk is another source.go to dennis kirk.com and order the metric bike catalog. It's huge and has a very lot of parts.

For the money I have been eying the Nelson Rigg MG950 Motorcycle Tank Bag. It is magnetic, but they also offer a strap-on version, the Nelson Rigg STB750 Motorcycle Tank Bag. Both run between $45 - $55 plus shipping. I am leaning towards the magnetic version because it seems easier to pack up and go with.

Tank bags are great - but what I do is slightly different... I use a hockey bag for the times I really need space.
Between a cargo net, bungees, a Rubbermaid 13L box and the hockey bag I can take just about anything with me.
Certainly the tank bag is the way to go - esp if you have a passenger or want to have a map visible when you're riding. Also great for toll money.
The magnet tank bags are really good.

I also just bought a Nelson Rigg CL100 Sport Tail Pack which is big enough for my helmet. What eludes me though is a windshield bag... :(

So the Nelson Rigg CL100 Rear Luggage pack went way beyond my expectations. It came with a shoulder strap, rain cover and both hooks & buckles depending on how you want to attach it. I went ahead and ordered the MG950 tank bag. Soooooo....along with the front tool bag, side luggage bags; rear luggage bag and the tank bag...oh, and my full set of leather motorcycle luggage, I think I'm set for the longer trips to my brother's that I want to make next year (585 miles one-way).
Now if I can just work out a windshield bag and a hydration setup...oh, and a 5 gallon plus tank! <_<
