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

| 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?  |

| Re: Not a tank bag, more of a pouch...? 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. |

| Re: Not a tank bag, more of a pouch...? 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. |

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.  |

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  |

| Re: Not a tank bag, more of a pouch...? 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. |
