SW-Motech Legend Gear Tank Bag Review - Perfect for your Triumph Modern Classic 

Cheers Anci

Thanks Michael, glad it was useful! Would love to visit Colorado Springs something, especially to do some riding

Dun dun daaar!

Thanks Guys, I’ve always found your stuff to be fantastic quality and it does what it’s supposed to

i realize I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great to hear!

Cheers Capt. Much appreciated

Thanks Vilmos, nice of you to make contact, always nice to hear. CB1100RS nice!

Its good kit

@@mancavemoto Good to hear.

Hi Marc, not sad if you’ve got a bike you love! Sounds like a bargain and I’ve always liked the look of those CB1100’s Thanks for being part of my journey here on RU-vid. Ride Safe

Cheers Phil

any scratches at all? Do you put a plastic film or something underneath to avoid any paint damage?

sure seems it

Yep, I use this a lot, very handy

No problem

Nice!

😬👍

Me too 😂 this man cost me a fortune twice..... I'm on my second street twin 🤷‍♂️🤪😂😂😂

Its a handy little bag, I use mine a lot

👍

Cheers Bo, as it happens I was just going to look at your channel as I’m in the market for a new camera rucksack. Quite like the Peak Designs 30l, but I know you’ll have a few others for me to consider

The Peakdesign seems to be the crowd's favorite, but I haven't tested it myself yet.

I know this is a couple months old. I've been riding for years and carrying camera in a backpack, (rucksack to you guys) and I looked at the Peak Design, although its a nice bag, but it does not get me excited and the dual sided access it just looks like stuff would fall out, the bags I currently use are Think Tank Photo Airport Essentials which has has a built in cable lock, its made for airplane travel my other and current favorite for riding on a motorcycle is the TUBU 6070 its supposed to be a hiking bag but I can carry two bottle of water, my tripod, camera bodies and lenses along with a a laptop and still have space for my dynaplug tire repair kit along with a few extra co2 cartridges. the tripod rides in the center of the bag unlike my Think Tank Photo which I can carry a tripod or a water bottle but not both, I hate having to put a tank bag on the bike to carry my moto repair kit and then strap a tripod to the back fender and then having to unpack it all and put it back to get back on the road, one bag makes life a lot easier, you can also lock the TUBU's zippers as well, Cheers I spent a few years at RAF Bridgewater near Ipswich lots of great trips around that area, minus those Sizewell Seagulls they leave a big mess.

Donald Kline Photography I also didn't like the side openings on the PD bag, so opted for the Manfrotto Manhattan, which i've been really pleased with.

It’s a handy piece of kit to have, I don’t like shoving lots of stuff in my pockets, so perfect for phone, keys, cigars, sidestand puck, visor cleaner etc etc

Cigars?

Yep Cigars

Hi, no it’s a good question, the cover fits over the top of the bag and then pulls tight around the bottom. It doesn’t go underneath where the magnets are

The magnets are on the outer section of the base, so shouldn't interfere with the tank strap

Yes, two reasonable size disclocks would fit

Thanks Jamie, you too. This has proved to be a really useful bag. Another one to take a look at would be the Givi Corium, although its possibly less retro looking? tinyurl.com/givitankbag one other is possibly the Bagster, but its quite simple tinyurl.com/bagsterdline

@@mancavemoto Hi Tony, Sorry for my late reply and many thanks for those other options. I’ve gone with the L1T. I purchased it from the Sportsbikeshop in Harlow and they priced matched it against Motolegends @. £55.20! A right little result. I am really concerned with the strength of the magnets 🧲 though. I can easily peel the bag off the tank with my little finger. I think the manufacture should have sewed a few more in especially at the top and bottom of the bag where they are absent. However I’m yet to ride with it so we shall see. All the best and I’ll see you when the weather gets a bit better 👍⚒👍

You can but I think it might require cutting of the fabric inside....I’ll check

Sure, it’s been really good. The bottom of the bag is rubberised, so as long as you keep it clean and check for grit etc before you use it it’ll be fine. The bag doesn’t move like some strap on ones do, so the chances of scratching are minimal.

@@mancavemoto thanks mate! That’s reassuring. Appreciate your prompt reply.

I never had an issue with it, i tend to carry my phone in the mesh compartment inside the lid, so it’s kept away from the magnets anyway

@@mancavemoto ooo. I see. Coz with latest phone with bigger screen size, i feel that it might get quite snug to fit it in the mesh area. Thanks anyway for you reply. Appreciate it😁👍

No idea what it would be like on a matte tank. As long as you ‘place’ it on the tank and don’t drag it, it should be fine. But as I said I don’t know what the Matte finish is like

If its got a steel tank then it should be good.

@@mancavemoto Thanks buddy ✌🏻

Hi Graham, that was one of my worries. The footage in the video was with a canon dslr, lens, iPhone and keys inside

I have had this on my T120 no straps just using magnets for most of this riding season and have never had it so much as shift. I have driven at speed on windy days and no problems. Love it. Has never made a mark on my bike. Just make sure bag and bike are clean and don’t slide it on or slide it to reposition it. Pick it straight off and reposition and you will be fine.

This tank bag yes, although as a tailback now as my bike has a plastic tank

The quality is top notch too

Hi Prt Eng, unfortunately it is not that easy to build a completely waterproof bag. We do offer waterproof bags but the Legend Gear products are supposed to be more about the looks and the feel of the material. Zippers will always let water in (even if you seal them), cotton is not exactly waterproof and if you change all that, you will get a completely different bag with compromised looks. That´s not what we wanted with this product. Hope that answers your question ;)

Good reply, and i fully understand the material aspect. But since its not made of baumwolle it must be able to withstand some amount of water pressure before stuff inside gets soaked, and its not mounted in direct rain like panniers would be. but its still a good lokking little bag.

It actually is made of a waxed canvas, which is fabricated from cotton. Of course it can withstand some drops due to the coating and PU lining. But we can only claim it to be "splash-proof" and not completely "waterproof" without the raincover. But we get your point ;)

@@SW-MOTECH I bought the LA5 Tool Bag, the LR1 Tail Bag, and the LT1 Tank Bag. As mentioned, too bad the Legend line is not waterproof or even water resistant. At least your provide a rain cover for the Tail Bag and Tank Bag, but why not for the Tool Bag? They certainly cost enough to warrant providing one.

Yep, sure will

As long as you credit/link to my channel thats fine.

I nearly put a video clip in, then thought better of it ;)
