    OK, as i can't use my Givi tank bag on the Bonnie, I'm looking for a small bag (@3-4litre) that'll strap to the rack on the single seat as per pic.

    Any suggestions?
    It'll be left on the rack most of the time so the cheaper the better too stop people wanting to nick it.:)

    I used a small Oxford tank bag on the back of the Bonnie when it had a rack. Fit perfectly and I used to leave it on.
    I think they are about £35.00 new but I would look on ebay as HT says. I got an almost brand new unbranded one for the GMU trip for £4.99!
    Actually "even better than that" you can have mine if you want - cost you a bacon sarnie at Loomies! :cool:
    Still got the shoulder strap and the waterproof cover.

    That would depend on the size of butty i.e. if we're talking run of the mill bread or doorstop sandwiches....

    I note there is a handy HP sauce bottle sized pocket on the side as well :p

    What do you mean nothing about bikes? The rider needs fuel to operate the bike. No rider and the bike is irrelevant. Beer is the primary fuel of choice. (OK, not too much or you'll flood the rider's carburetor and fry his/her ECU...)
