I have the Cortech Super Mini and I really like it. I get my mini slime compressor, tire plugger, little bottle of h2o, phone & keys in there with room to spare. I have the magnetic version and it seems to cling on like a leach.

I'm currently using the Frank Thomas Cargo Endurance tank bag. It seems to fit very well and is very comfortable to lean on during the longer rides.

Been using it for about 2 weeks with no complaints at all!

Looks like it's still on sale, if you're interested =)

I have a Givi Tank bag that is magnetic . I have had it for 5 years or so I orginaly picked it up Ducati but it works better on my FZ it has a good amount of room in it and a nice map pocket .their web site has it listed at 15 liters . it has a zip out portion that gives and extra room in it

I've got the Nelson-Rigg Large Magnetic tank bag.
It's HUGE. But it fits just about anything, including a 2XL full face helmet.

I need to get a smaller one for short rides.

I use the Joe Rocket "Manta" magnetic tank bag, It fits the tank perfectly, almost like it was designed for the FZ, and for 50 dollars you cant go wrong, mine is black with reflective strip trim, the come in red ,blue, camo etc. best for the money i think

I have one as well, had mine about a year now and love it. I generally carry couple pens, paper, wallet, GPS, digi-cam, bandana, cargonet, tire plug kit, clear glasses and a few other odds and ends. It's pretty packed with just these things but is more than enough for my average day ride. If I need more room I carry my Cortech tailbag and the mini fits perfectly inside with room for a couple drinks and maps so I can carry both incase I need all the storage of the tail.

I bought a Rapid Transit Recon 19. It loosk great and is faily big. But, I have a Givi Topcase, so have really never used it. I can't comment on its fit. PM if interested in it.

I have the Yamaha one. It fits well, but there is really nothing in there to keep your things organized. So, I would not recommend it unless you have other organizers that you can just toss in there. I have gotten used to it and it generally carries, my coffee for work, few items like glasses, ear plugs, etc.
