Torn between 2 Tank Bags
I like the looks of a Chase Harper tank bag and a Rapid Transit Recon 19 bag, but would almost rather see them in person before buying them online. Has anybody had experience with either of these and how good the non-slip magnetic padding is against the paint jobs on their bikes?
The local shop has only one series/brand of bags, and the other shops in this are lame with really no good stock, so I have to pull the trigger and buy one of these "blind" online.
Appreciate any help or insight on these for what will be good for the ol' ZX14...

I bought a Cortech super-mini tank bag for every-day use and I really like it (strap style, not magnetic). I like how the bag looks and fits, but the bigger bags are quite *plain* looking.
I posted some pics a while back....

With the strap style bags, how do they prevent any kind of strap chafing? I assume the same kind of padding that is on the magnetic bags are sitting under each strap? With the 12R, I would have had to go to a strap, but with the 14, it appears that a magnetic bag would work just fine.
