Tank bags can be attached to your bike right behind the tank and sit in front of your chest while you ride. Because space is limited, we recommend keeping your most important items in this area. They are also easily removable, so you can take your entire bag with you when you get to a rest stop. Phones, cameras, wallets, sunglasses, and house keys are good items to put into you tank bag. Many of our bags also allow you to keep a paper map on top for ease of access.
