Thinking about getting this:
Nelson Rigg SSC-130 Silver Streak Strap Mount Sport Tank Bag :: New Enough Motorcycle Hard Parts

Is strap mount or magnetic mount better? any issues with either? Which would you choose?

Depends if it will fit your needs. Looks like a good bag if you like tank bags.

The strap mount will stay put no matter what, but the straps often rub up your paint, so they are more popular for applications where the tank is plastic. I like magnetic ones, as you can grab them easily and bring them inside with you at lunch stops, etc.

i have the magnetic tank bag from nelson rigg and am quite happy with it. Easy on and off and doesn't go anywhere while riding.

The magnetic tank bag is much easier to put onto the tnak and take off. I am happy with my tank bag I have been using for the past 4 years.

I use a Joe Rocket magnetic tank bag. I've had it for over 2 years and it works great.

Which one do you use? I am in need of a good tank bag.

JMCKELL: Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. I have the SL-Rocket Manta Magnetic Tank Bag-Black. Two years ago, it was $39.95. I just returned from a 4-day trip, and used the tank bag a bunch to store misc. items. It's very easy to move when getting gas. However, be careful with the heavy-duty magnets.
