tank bags
td:
I have used three different kinds of tank bags, 2 on my previous RS, and 1 on my current oiler RS. If I was getting a bag now, I would bite the bullet and get the BMW one, which has the most elegant mounting system of all of them.
You'll get all kinds of comments on this question.
But BMW still makes the best stuff, in my opinion.
Enjoy your new machine! I like those twin sparkers.

RT Tankbag
Wolfman Explorer is an excellent choice for the RT. Have used one on my last 2 RTs.

You stupid, fix it!
No contest the MAK bag is the best I've seen used on BMW's. I had the BMW bag on my RS. Was nice when new but did not last as long as I thought it should. The mak bag has two featchers that no other tank bag I know of has. It does not rest on the tank of touch any paint. So easy when gassing up. One finger, nothing to un-hook or un-snap. Comes in several sizes. to see go to www.cyclegadget.comgood luck in what ever you choose
Check out "www.cyclegadgets.com" look at BMW gadgets on their list. Check out their airbag. This is a nice bag. It floats on a bracket that mounts around the gas tank bracket. Never touches your paint. It flips up for gassing up. Slips right off when needed.

Chicane Baja
I use the Chicane Baja bag on my '04 RT and it has worked well. I also purchased the water bladder which is nice for the long rides. The attached waterproof cover located in it's own zippered compartment up forward works great too. I've recently added power to it using a Powerlet bag kit. I have yet to figure out how to add pics, otherwise I'd add a few. If you're interested in checking out my set-up let me know and I'll forward you some pics.
Cheers,
Steve

I believe you are referring to the Big Mak. Nice setups, I had one on my RT. You can get different size bags too.
