tank bags
You won't go wrong w/ Linda T and her custom bags. She will make you whatever you want and in whatever color you are interested! She has many 'stock' bags and you add what is important to them. I have one for my 07 RT and it is the berries. I overspent and got too many pockets, but that's me. She is very accessible and will talk w/ you re: your thoughts and maybes. Give her a shout and tell he I sent you. [No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.

Many good bags out there, but I use and like the SW Motech system (attachment ring around gas filler).
They are available thru certain BMW dealers (Nicks BMW - DePere, WI) or thru:

Good Luck!

Oxfort Sports bag, magnetic, sits on my plastic tank without ever shifting, held in place by a strap around the steering head, 4 years old, looks new, will occasionally reset my ESA for me, but I can live with that for the peanuts the bags cost...check ebay regularly. Expandable, convertible to a usable day pack, come in several colors. I believe they're discontinued, but just set up an ebay saved search for Oxford Tank Bag and within a week or so you'll find one.

I have the Cortech Tourmaster mid-size magnetic tankbag.
I like it so far. Map pocket works well and the bag detaches quickly and carries easily (nice handle) to carry in the gas station or restaurant when traveling.

You stupid, fix it!
I've been using the Big Mak tank from www.cyclegadgets.com for several years and like it. I have two, a smaller one and a large one for traveling. The accessories like the gas reciept holder and bottle holder work well. No hassles when gassing up , just lift and pump. so easy..

Tank Bags and more
I have had great luck with the variety of bags from Wolfman in Colorado. Used them on my GS/PD, Cagiva Gran Canyon and now on DL 1000 V Strom. Great quality. Eric is a long time rider himself and makes stuff that works. In fact he makes custom liners I believe for Moto Sport Panniers luggage and their Dirt Bagz. Those are bulletproof I know.
Availabe at www.motogearoutlet.com in a day or so..
Peace for this Christmas Season.j.. and great rides in 09

Well, I got it and the Marsee 15L Tour Rocket is too big for the '04RT. The bars hit it. Probably OK for the LT.So I got a 10 liter Pocket Rocket. Very nice and it fits. Haven't ridden a bunch with it yet, but first impression is that it's top quality and handy, too.
By the way the 15L Tour Pocket and another 10L Cortech bag are in the Flea Market.

Touratech Waterproof Tank Bag
I haven't seen any mention of the Touratech Waterproof Tank Bag for the R1200RT It appears to have more features while providing the custom fit of the BMW tank bag -- but it's pricier too. I looked around and couldn't it any cheaper. Any comments, likes, dislikes?

This new FirstGear bag hits the States mid-January. I'm going to get one.

Now, I have a Cortech tri-bag (very big, very good) and a smaller strap-on bag by Nelson-Rigg. I've found Nelson-Rigg's customer service to be among the bestI've ever dealt with. Good gear as well.

Update.
I have had it on the bike for several months now.
This is the best TB I have used.
It's easy to take off and replace. Doesn't touch the tank, is well made and has a couple handy features like the silver interior and the clear top.
They are pricey, but you get quality.

Any issues with interference with the bars or controls as an earlier poster mentioned?

I'm a fan of Marsee tank bags. They're well made and stand up to a lot of use. I have a Marsee 11 ltr Pocket Rocket Corona tank bag on my 12GS. Marsee's Corona system is a fine substitute for magnetic bags if your tank isn't steel and you don't like straps.
But, if I had your '02 RT, I'd take advantage of all that steel and get a Marsee magnetic of whatever size suits you. For years I used the same Marsee 20 ltr magnetic tear drop tank bag on my '94 Honda CB1000, then on my '03 R1150R. I still have it tucked away in my garage waiting for the day I bring home a bike with another steel tank!

It is what it is.
Grant,
Don't need a steel tank. Just glue some super magnets under your tupperware. I did on my 97 RT and it works great. Just be sure that your magnets in the bag are all the same polarity, otherwise parts or all of your bag may "fly off" rather than stick.
