It appears the tanks are shaped differently. I did, however see the 2008 tailbag on a 2007 and it looks great. Not as floppy as the old style.

So you saw a 2007 with a 2008 tank bag fitted to it? Did it look rigged, or did it look like it fit ok? It's hard to see from Kawi's site exactly how the bag mounts. I can see the bag is quite different, but I'm curious if the spots where it attaches are similar between the pre-08s and the 08s. Thanks, -Matt

Alright, I've searched every site I can find. The Wolfman Enduro bag is one that I have taken a liking to. Does anyone have any good evidence based recommendations for a tank bag. Simple I know, I haven't graduated to the brass washer fitting level yet but someday I hope too. I want a small, non-tumorish bag as a carry all, short trips bag and forth to work or the occasional trail in over populated maryland. Can ya'll help me out. Larry

I use the Enduro. It's a fine little bag. A slightly larger bag that works well on sloping tanks is the one KTM sells for the 640A. It is not as big as the full-sized Wolfman bags, but does expand to hold quite a bit.I zips to a harness that remains in place on the tank when you remove the bag. The kTM bag is very stable and secure on the tank, more so than anything that comes to mind.

I use the Wolfman Expedition tankbag. It is large enough to haul more stuff than I really need, yet small enough to be relatively unobtrusive. I ordered a large map pocket which attaches to the top with velcro and shows enough map for several hours of riding. It has remained totally dry inside through all-day rains. Overall I have been very pleased with it. The mounting system also allows it to be carried like a shoulder bag or small backpack which can be handy at times. Ross Lindberg Fertile, MN

Ahhhh, now I get it! That's a good point for road side work too. Although I do have a few put away in the box with the extra oil filters I bought.

It's the one I bought. It is large enough for some gloves, a camera, a cell phone, charging cords, sunglasses, gum, earplugs, and a few other items. I believe that the more room you have in there, the more you can accumulate a lot of junk you don't need in a tankbag. The quality appears good so far and for gassing up, you can unsnap one of the rear straps, swing the bag out of the way, gas up, and put it back. I have used it in daily commuting, and a 1500 mile trip to Mexico's mountains and back. I have no complaints. db ________________________________ From: sourdoughmedic To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 12:52:39 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Tank Bag Alright, I've searched every site I can find.
