    Dug this out the other night and hand washed it in some warm water and Woolite.

    It also has R/W/B side and rear pockets that snap and velcro on.

    I decided to go back to a strap style on this tank as I was starting to get some impression patterns in the clear coat from my magnetic Cortech and Marsee bags. You can see the faint pattern of the rubber anti-skid bottom in the clearcoat. Has only happened on this tank. They are not "scratches" or rub marks, it is very weird. I have polished them out once before. You would think this clearcoat would be rock hard by now.

    The RKA has sheepskin on the bottom and I already had some clear protection applied where the straps go from years ago. It also quite spacious in the main compartment. Yes, I can see all the gauges and warning lights and my chest just clears the back edge.

    Looks great dude! I love good tank bags. I could spend hours figuring out what items should go in what pocket. I am a little bummed every bag these days seem to only come in black. Love my SWMotech on the Tuono though.
