Awesome!!
This bag has one word attached to it...QUALITY!! No chance of scratching period! SOOO soft. For a medium sized bag, it offers plenty of room. Made of VERY thick stuff and the magnets hold this puppy down big time! Well I am not going to ramble on here so I will leave you with one thought...BUY IT!!

Super 14 Tank Bag.
I have a 2009 Yamaha FJR 1300 and use this bag on the bike. It looks great and stays in place with the magnetic mount. Its very durable and a must on longer rides. The size is good for long multi day rides and day rides.

Great bag for the money
Bag fits my FJR very nicely. Very durable ballistic nylon on top. Bottom has a soft material to keep from damaging tank. After 5 months, it is starting to flatten where the magnets contact the tank. No wear-through at the moment. Features are what you expect from a high end bag. Finish is not the best, but more than adequate. List of features is limited to basic compartmentalization. Eyeglass case holder is trapped beneath the map case but accessible. Despite all this, the bag is a good traveling companion. Recommended.

Super 14 Tank Bag Review
I recently purchased the Super 14 tank bag especially for a 5 day trip that I was planning. I had never owned a tank bag before since my bike has side bags and a trunk bag and had never needed the space. However, I knew on this trip I would need a bag to provide a little extra convenient space for those items that I would need to access frequently. I debated between the magnet model and the strap model, preferring the magnet type. After much research and consideration, I purchased this bag. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the bag and it seemed perfect for what I needed. My only concern was the strength of the magnets to hold the bag in place. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also included a safety strap that attaches to the front of the bag and goes around you handlebars or stem so that it can’t' blow off even if it moves. After 5 days and 1600+ miles, many on interstates at high speeds, the bag no moved at all. In fact, the magnets are so strong that it's very difficult to pull that bag off the tank without using two hands. Also the back is very soft and caused no scratching whatsoever. The rain cover also worked flawlessly. It is very well designed and the underside of the top cover has several compartments for various items. The main body of the bag is one large open area and I would have liked to have it divided into perhaps two separate compartments but that is the only thing that I would change and, frankly, that is only personal preference. It looks great is functional and performed flawlessly. The size is also just right for longer trips or day trips. I think anything larger would be obstructive to seeing your dials. I highly recommend this bag. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Awesome camera bag with the right mods
I bought this for a camera bag I could mount to my tank. The reason? Lower vibration than the rear luggage rack and easier accessibility. Plus I like the ability to easily take it with me. It fit well on my 2005 Harley-Davidson Fatboy tank, even with the center console. I bought a Pelican Pick and Pluck foam insert for a Pelican 1450 case and modded it to fit this bag. It works very well. I can fit my Canon EOS 5D digital SLR, 580EXII Flash, charger, and flash bounce in the foam. With spare batteries in the front compartment and lens pen and spare flash cards in the lid pockets. I use an old camera strap as an extra precaution around the bottom of the tank... fits perfectly in the already included loops in the bag. The bag is pretty bare bones, and the rain guard is not built in so you'll need to stow it in the bag (I used the eyeglass case for this). All-in-all this bag is very well made, as well as any high-end camera bag.

Super 14 Tank Bag
This product is nearly perfect for someone wishing to have the ability to carry items including extra clothes, items bought at the store and not have to deal w/ the time consuming chore of disconnecting a strap to remove the bag. The super soft underlying portion will not scratch the tank and the biggest reason for the purchase also. I've seen other products w/ a much more stiff and rough bottom that could and would scratch the tank. Size is not too small and not too big. Love it.

Nice bag, but could use a couple of changes
Just finished a 9 day 4000 mile trip across the country. No scratches from the bottom liner, which is the best I have seen. The magnets are strong and perfectly placed for my Concours 14. When leaving the bike just grab the handle and run. Very durable, good zippers, easy to access while riding. I liked the size for long distance traveling as it held all my usual stuff, ie. radar detector, cell phone, wallet plus snacks, water and extra gloves. Things that could have been improved on:
-the map pouch is so small its just about useless
-the sunglasses pouch is awkward to access with map pouch on.
Once Tourmaster redesigns by moving the sunglasses pouch to the side and then extending the map pouch to back of the bag it will be just about perfect.

Nice Line of tank bags
I have the 6 liter and 14 liter strap mount versions of the bags in this line and I like them a lot. I use the 6 liter for day to day and the 14 for longer trips. The 14 is about as big a bag as I can fit on my BMW F650GS Twin and has about all of the features I could want and the 6 holds my toll tag, gloves, water bottle etc. I like the base as it does not seem to mar the paint at all on my faux tank and it's easy to remove and either carry with me or toss into my top box. Note that each bag comes with a different sized base, but the clips are compatible so I can swap out bags easily, it only requires cinching down the smaller bag a bit tighter. Both of these bags have a nice shape that goes with the bike, not square and boxy like many I've seen. The only minus is that it takes some work to figure out how and where to mount the straps but once you do it works very well.

tank bag tourmaster strap 14
This bag fits my BMW F800ST perfectly. You must use the strap mount for these bikes because they have no metal fuel tank. The sunglass case on top works great for a small can of spray polish/cleaner for the face shield, windshield and headlight. I would have liked a 2 1/2 inch zip up expansion in this bag, as most of my previous Cortech bags have had. Build quality is great. This bag is a little stiffer than my other Cortech bags and I like that also.

Tour Master - Super 14 Tank Bag for my Big Strom
Excellent value. Once in place it doesn't move. It’s easy to clip off for fueling. Used to have a magnetic bag and it almost blew off when a rig went by.....this bag is awesome. Map window is a little on the little side, so my maps take a beating...but who needs maps anyways? ;-) Lot’s of space and two smaller pockets, one for stuff and the other holds the rain cover. Really like it.
Great service.

Tour Master - Super 14 Tank Bag (magnetic)
The nice thing about this bag is the bottom surface is very soft and non-scratch. I looked at lots of bags and none compared to this one. Looks great have not had any problem with it falling off.

Great Tank Bag
Use on a FZ6. Fits ok on the tank but would depend on bike. Magnets hold great and make it really really easy to take with you when you stop. Not a real big bag but great for day rides.

Tour Master Magnetic 14ltr Tank Bag
I was surprised at how small a 14 liter bag is (replacing one that had zippered expansion panels), but the quality and thought that went into this bag is typical Tour Master high quality! I have an '89 Honda TransAlp, and my only “quibble” is that the bag has to ride far back on the tank to let all four magnetic areas cling properly to the tank sides (if the magnetic “ears” were 2 inches longer the bag could ride anywhere you wished). I really like that when you pick the bag off the tank by the handle, the “ears” flap back and cling onto the bottom of the bag. The bag seems secure at any speed.

The bag is well made, just a lot smaller than I thought it would be.

Excellent piece of equipment
I bought this out of necessity and selection from a walk-in store. I'm definitely pleased with the quality, capacity and ease of use. I've logged about 4k miles with it so far and had it well into triple digits with no worries. Needless to say, I did pay about $40 too much from the store I purchased it from, but the pricing here is spot on. I'd recommend this product without hesitation. Especially nice are the back pack straps that tuck under/into the bag with ease.

Tour Master Cortech Super 14 L tank bag
I bought this bag for a trip down into Baja Mex. It held well to my BMW GS 1150 at high speeds and over the rough desert trails with the magnetic adhesion which could be removed quickly to refill the gas tank. The size was just perfect and the compartments for sunglasses and map are great! It comes with a rain cover so you are not hit for an extra $20 and it's price tag is well below the snooty BMW gear.....what more can you ask?

Nice Bag - Does the trick!
I use this bag on my Suzuki V-Strom 1000. It took a little tweaking to get it installed just right but I am very happy with the overall performance. I use my MP3 player on longer rides and I really like the small port that faces the rider for the headphone cable to pass. I looked at several bags and this one was just the right size for me. Not so big that it's in the way but large enough to keep things handy. I'd definitely buy this bag again if something happened to it.

sweet bag
This is a great tank bag. I ride a Kawi 636 04' and it works perfectly for my commutes. Its big enough for books and such for school and the sun glasses storage pocket is a nifty idea too. All in all I would give the bag a 9 out of 10 because it could look a bit more flashy but when all is said and done it helps you from point A to point B.
