Best tank bag for the FZS 600

Hi
Just for short outings etc for all the crap you don't want in your pockets.
Any recommendations?

I’ve got some kind of older version of this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Motorbike-Motorcycle-Outdoors-Magnetic/dp/B06VY6VM14/ref=mp_s_a_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1551294652&sr=8-21&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=magnetic+tank+bag

Does the job. Maybe a bit big for just your phone and wallet while you’re out for a ride but when I went on an extended trip it was big enough to store my pants and socks in as well as a load of other stuff.

Get a magnetic tank bag of the size you think you need. They’re all pretty similar really and don’t cost that much.

I got a magnetic tank bag from Aldi a few years back and it is still serving me well. I don't seem to be able to master the art of travelling light so it gets nearly full just on a day trip with flask, camera, first aid kit, and other junk. You can increase capacity with a separate zip off section underneath the main section, but I found that makes it too high and floppy so I don't use that and rely on panniers/top box for extra capacity on longer trips. Aldi usually have the motorbike stuff early in the fine weather riders season.
Not a very good picture of the tank bag but at least the bikes clean. :)
