Fitted a Baglux tank cover to the tiger which I got for a bargain. Big Grin

Only to find out that it needs a specific tank bag to fit!

My alpha bag is now bloody redundant! :Smile
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

No it doesn't.
I have a magnetic cargo tank bag on mine.
I put black cable ties through the loops on the front of the bag to attach to the tank cover clips.
Set the bag on the tank to where you want it, put the cable ties into the clips and tighten to the necessary length and cut off the ends. :thumbup
I have put up thousands of miles with mine like that Big Grin and one crash :'( no problem.
If the bag does not have magnets or weak magnets, then tie in the rear to the metal attachments.

I've grafted my Oxford mini Tank bag on it in a similar way, but i expected my alpha bag to fit on!

Bloody robbing buggers have put the rear clips a lot closer to the front plastic loops so you can only use the cross'r bag at eighty something quid!!!
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Tried to tax the Fazer last night only to find the MOT had run out in April  :wall :groan

So took the big mirrors off the Tiger and removed the bar ends - now only 0.5" wider than a Fazer, so good for London's changing traffic pattern. Fitted these and well chuffed - can now get passed vans.

Had to service the front brakes on the tiger as looks like one of the pistons seized and wore a pad out prematurely!

New EBC pads fitted, so I had to go and bed them in a bit. 8)
