Looking at tankbags and I'm swaying towards the Bagster option. Has anyone used the 'Universal Tank Fitting' for the clip on bag? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bagster-Easy ... SwwadaIDDM

The 'Tank' cover for the XB seems a bit pricey.

Any advise on what you're using or what not to use would be appreciated.

Cheers

The bagster option is the best but pricey, I think my cover was £120 and then the bags cost another £100 or so. I think it’s worth it as the bag stack is expandable to 40 litres!

I've used a Bagster cover on my last 5 bikes. The one on my Uly doesn't clip on the frame at the front too well, had to bend the clip and it can slide off if pulled, but it's not come off accidentally over past 2 years. I never tried the universal, don't think it would work on our tanks very well as tanks are very short. The bags can be a stretch to fit as the rear brackets don't point upwards. Some bags are adjustable with velcro.
