I settled on the Wolfman Explorer Lite, no zippers.. just velcro, narrow width, no magnets
but supposedly sits rock steady, tapered base & pretty much waterproof,
to a point. From photos should fit my /5 touring tank just nice. $AU165 delivered.

What bars are on the bike, USA or Euro low bars? The bars make a huge difference.

Euro low bars, never gave it a thought that the bars could interfere.

My Harro does interfere with the kill switch. I have to pull the tank bag as far back as possible when riding and then slide it forward to center the hole in the bottom to fill up with petrol/gas.

If I had a /5 I would fit my BMW tank bag to it.

This used to go on my LTs tank with ease.

I've used a Joe Rocket bag with 4 magnets on a /6 for years, works well
