A big bag with a narrow profile, the Recon 11 tank bag by Rapid Transit cuts down on the wind-catching bulk of some other tank bags. If your bike has a raised indicator panel, like mine, this bag will be situated on your tank behind the panel, so the air is already directed around it. This is an impressive feat for a bag with 11.4 liters of storage capacity.
The 1000 denier nylon shell of the Recon 11 is wind and water resistant. If any breeze does blow across this bag, it won't find a lot of friction on its passing. Just in case you get a heavy crosswind, a strap mount will hold the Recon 11 in firmly in place.
An integrated tank protector with Scratchguard rubberized contact fabric protects your tank's finish, and a reflective strip protects you from nighttime invisibility. If you need protection from boredom, the Recon 11 is designed to accommodate your mp3 player with a headphone port. You'll be able to listen to your tunes without worrying about your audio system being damaged by the hazards of the road.
Knowing the dimensions of a tank bag is important to understanding how it will fit on your machine. The Recon 11 is 11.8 inches by 7.8 inches by 7.5 inches. The mounting system is universal and so is the black and gunmetal coloration. The price, at around $50, is also pretty universal.
