If anyone is interested in an alternative tank bag mounting system I have made one that works for magnetic tank bags. I used some flat round neodymium N52 magnets and mounted them under the tank tupperware so that my magnetic tank bag could stick to it without straps or anything else to hold it on. The magnets are strong enough that the bag sticks as well as it would to metal tanks I have had. They are also thin enough so that they easily fit under the plastic using the 3M sticky pads that come with them and no other modifications are necessary. The tank bag is small enough that the handlebars don’t contact it at full lock, except on the left side where my aftermarket add on’s stick out a little.
The parts I used were from Amazon:
DIYMAG Powerful N52 Neodymium Disc Magnets, Strong, Permanent, Rare Earth Magnets. 1.26 inch x 1/8 inch, Pack of 10, $11
Chase Harper USA 409M Magnetic Tank Bag - Water-Resistant, Tear-Resistant, Industrial Grade Ballistic Nylon with Anti-Scratch Rubberized Polymer Bottom, Super Strong Neodymium Magnets, $45.75.
I’ll probably use a safety tether for the first few rides just in case, but I doubt I will need it long term. Super easy to use, just put it on or pull it off, the magnets snap it into the same position every time, and nothing to spoil the bikes good looks when it’s off. I didn't do this to save money, I just didn't like any of the other attachment systems or bags I saw available.
I tried to upload photos and it kept failing so I'll just share an album I made: https://photos.app.goo.gl/smwU1ewZ9bQdikuk7
