    I am looking at getting one of these tankbag setups. I am concerned that the Engage Sport might be too big, and I can't seem to find any pictures from the side of the bike. I would like to see how big these two bags are from the side, and maybe some pics of someone on the bike with it. I have read there are sometimes issues with clearance on the Engage Sport, so a pic with the handlebars turned would be great also.

    Thanks everyone!

    I couoldn't turn the bars all the way because of my gps mount...it would be tight but should be ok. The larger bag does start to sag, so definitely protect the tank. I have used both, since I have "tail storage" on the bikes, I have the smaller bag on two of them.

    The quality of these bads is great and I love the tank ring. But the material fades if you park outside. I use the vfr to commute so it sits outside 4-5 days a week. Took about a month for the latest bad to start to fade.

    The large bag was used on a triumph for a year or so (and left outside). It looks awful, but function-wise it is just fine.

    I saw these at the motorcycle show the other day, I love the idea of not having straps and magnets. I'm so gonna get one if I can find a dealer up here with a decent price. It seems as though cost about 20-30% more than for a standard magnetic bag of the same size.

    Thanks for the pics! I am starting to lean toward the smaller bag, since I have huge tailbag I can put on if I need the room. Would you mind taking a shot down at the bags while sitting on the bike?

    Thanks again!

    Here are some more pix. Top view of each and bar all the way to the left. Please not that with the large bag, the ram mount doesn't work. But with the just bar, it would be ok.

    I just bought the joe rocket manta tank bag.. I'm paranoid about tank bags and the magnetic flaps that wrap against your tank is in my opinion, awesome! Its a small bag but the hammerhead is bigger if you want the same kinda design.
