I am sure I am late asking this question and it's been discussed here many times... but is anyone using Tank panniers?
I was just thinking they might be a nice alternative to a tank bag and hold the frunk lid down in the wind when you have your legs stretched out on those highway pegs and all the air is following your legs up to catch the frunk lid and flip it open right in your face.
I normally use a small tank bag with suction cups but lately I have been enjoying riding without the bag right there in front of me.
I suppose they might even be useful if you are using a tank bag to help hold it in place? Hadn't really thought about that before.
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing of anyone's experiences using tank panniers on the NCX. Especially smaller ones.
(I know we don't call them panniers in the US usually, but I don't know what else to call them)
I am speaking of the two small(ish) bags that hang over each side of the tank (or frunk in our case)
