Not a tank bag, more of a pouch...?

Anybody got any suggestions for a VERY small bag that would attach to one's bike? I'm thinking of something that would be the size of a 954 trunk or smaller. I want to be able to carry cell phone, digital camera, wallet, and that's about it. Tank bag is too big, don't really want to carry backpack, etc. I guess a fanny pack of some sort would work, but I'd rather attach it unobtrusively to the bike somehow.

Any ideas?

OK it is not 'small' but I just got a Tourmaster Sport tailbag, has a pad to avoid scratches, hooks nicely on my 1000RR and I use it to replace the briefcase when on the bike. I would highly recommend one although I did Moleskin the hooks out of paranoia.

Thanks - the T409 looks like just what I've been looking for. I ordered one and it should be here on Wednesday! Thanks, everybody!

Let us know how it works out in carrying your small accessories. I use a tank bag generally but there are times when there is nothing more then my cell, wallet and my earplugs in it.

Yes, and it's great! Exactly what I was looking for. Holds all of my necessities (wallet, digital camera, cell phone, etc.), yet is small enough that I can tuck in and drag the knees for aggressive canyon carving. Thanks again to Conq for the tip!

Best deal I could find on it on the web was from California Sport Touring for $42.96. Fast shipping, great service.

Remember, if you go with the 600RR, this bag will be useless on the plastic tank.

It does have a single safety strap, but yes, it is magnetic.

DOH


Good point. I am not worried about it to much b/c at this point it looks like I will not have a new bike till I can find another job. This job pays crap (just enough to cover the bills with little left over) but I had to take it b/c it was better then what I was making delivering pizza

Was at the stealer ship the other day and found a mega-tiny Cortech/Tour-master "ultra mini tankbag" that was very close in size to the one above, except it had smaller magnetic "wings" on it to keep it held on.
