I have been dancing around dropping a hard-earned $50 bucks on a tank bag. However, it appears that the bag would keep the tank from getting scratched and make the lean on the tank a helluva lot more comfortable. Any links of companies I can check out????

 

How big of a tank bag are you looking for?

I own three tank bags plus my icon squad backpack. You shouldn't have any problems with scratching your tank with any of the tankbags you end up buying. They all pretty much have the same rubber backing. The icon tank bags are nice. the Urban tank bag is huge! the primer tank bag is not very big at all. The joe rocket tank bag has much stronger magnets than the icon bags have. They also tend to be slimmer too. (Of course this depends on which one you buy.)

I paid about $85 for the icon urban tank bag, $39 for the icon primer bag, and $17 for the joe rocket bag on a special promo sale.

There are several other discussions on this topic here also. Just search the gear section.
