Title: Tank Bag for DRZ400 - IMS Tank
Post by: kdtrull on May 07, 2018, 08:54:30 PM
All I've ever used is generic/universal, magnet-mount tank bags.  Does anyone have any ideas what might work well with this very steep and narrow IMS tank on my DRZ?
Thanks for any info.

 The wolfam enduro https://wolfmanluggage.com/products/enduro-tank-bag or you could go cheap and get a atv tank bag if you don't mind it maybe being in the way when you stand

I watched the video in the wolfman link.  That looks dang near perfect.
Thanks a bunch.

I love my Wolfman Enduro tank bag!

I've used it on several dirt/DS bikes...worked great with the oversized tank I put on the Husky.

 Another BIG + for the Wolfman tank bag...and tail bag...and Beta bag.  ;) If it gets a little muddy, dirty and funky, empty it out, toss in the washer, and out it will come, looking all newish n stuff.  ;D

If you want to shop local, maybe check out Max Motorsports. I found a small Firstgear tank bag for my Z125 there.

I've got an older model of the Wolfman and it is about perfect. Built in water resistant layer so no rain cover and it expands up as needed!

+1 for the Wolfman, or if you wanted to be different, a set of tank saddlebags would work well on there...

I ordered the wolfman bag before I left work last night.  But 15 bucks for any kind of bag is A-OK!  I have one of those saddle bag rigs around here somewhere but it's old as dirt and lost in piles of junk.

I have the original version of the Giant Loop Buckin' Roll tank bag. It works great for tall tanks. I have a 4 gallon Clarke on my DRZ. This new version coming out looks even better.

The Giant Loop rig looks good too....and waterproofy!  The side bags would be nice.

 I have this;

I think they have a tad smaller bag, the Beta (without the plus.  :D )

What I like about the Beta Plus is it straps to every motorcycle I own or have owned in over 10 years. (Since I bought the bag in other words) It carries enough stuff for a ten day trip with no problem. 

If you want sidebags, they make them too.

I came within a few seconds of ordering that bag too....when my wallet screamed so loud it scared the dog.  I got the wolf tail instead....only minor flinching from the dog.

I am about to pull the trigger on this slick bag from Mosko Moto for the upcoming Colorado trip. It is still pricey but a little less than similar items. The company has a cool story that I have been following since inception. They are about to do some big things with small DS moto luggage and riding gear that may shake up the industry!

That is a super nice bag too.  I have to get some impulse(buy it now) control.

My name is Ken Trull, and I have an impulse problem.

Step one complete.  :'(

Hi Ken. You don't have a problem. None of us have a problem. Hehehe. ...
