The downside of a modern sportbike is that you can't use a magnetic tankbag without glueing some magnets to the other side of your plastic tank cover. Thats where the strapped design comes in. One harness loops around your steering yolk and the other nooses around part of your subframe under your seat. The rest is mostly the same as the magnetic version and includes some cheesy built in straps to take it on the go like a backpack.
Like the other Cortech components it comes with a rain cover and zips apart to allow bigger storage. When you open up the zipper to expand it up you can unfold some rigid parts inside the bag to give the sides more stability.
Loaded up it flops a little, but if you tighten everything down right its pretty stable as long as you dont load it like a moron and exceed the load limit. You can fit a sweatshirt, waterbottle, extra gloves, glasses, and a hat into it and still maybe fit some other stuff into the side pockets.
The unit has side pockets, a map pocket, a glasses/media device pocket (with grommet for wire), and includes a soft protector for a spare visor.
Last but not least, unlike the other Cortech 2.0 pieces of luggage, it comes with instructions.
