    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can anyone reccomend a tank bag that fits a 1983 GS1100E particularly well?
Thanks

I use a $5 child's backpack (sturdy canvas construction) and hard drive magnets. Works great, is big, and cost $5.
 
It's a really big, steel tank. Pick any magnetic tank bag you want.

I have a small Joe Rocket Manta for buzzing around town, and a larger expandable Nelson-Rigg with a map window for trips.

I'd highly recommend getting a bag that's expandable. It'll save your bacon regularly when you're standing in front of your bike with a bag full of stuff wondering where you're going to put it. A removable map window is also very nice to have -- the one on my bag attaches with velcro and snaps, so I can leave it at home if I want, or bring it inside at the lunch stop to plan the afternoon's route.

My favorite vendor of all time:

I'd also recommend not getting a really huge bag -- bigger is not always better, and big bags get really annoying.
 
+ 1 on the Nelson Rigg. The CL-600 mid-sized bag (expandable, with a map window) was briefly offered on sale at Denis Kirk for around $15.00 (!) when a member posted a link here, and several of us got them.... the New Enough site above, has them listed now at $68.00. The red accents match perfectly, as an added bonus if your '83 E happens to be red (though the current bag design may differ).

I've got 2, a magnetic eclipes 18 liter, and an expandable first gear 26 liter. The magnetics are the way to go.
