Nelson-Rigg Journey Highway Cruiser Magnetic Tank Bag | Gear Review
Small but mighty: the Journey features long magnetic flaps that grip a wide variety of tank sizes and shapes, even fitting over the central console on many cruisers.
As long as a bike has adequate luggage, I tend to use tank bags only for items I need quick access to – wallet, phone, sunglasses, water, perhaps a warmer/cooler pair of gloves – and for such a job, the 5-liter Nelson-Rigg Journey Highway Cruiser Magnetic Tank Bag (let?s just call it the Journey) is perfect.
Despite being marketed as a “cruiser” bag, complete with faux leather panels and a Harley-esque orange interior, the Journey is small enough to be at home on any bike with a metal tank, including our Royal Enfield Continental GT tester and my own ?85 Honda Nighthawk.
That bright orange interior is useful for finding items inside, especially when it?s dark, and there are inner storage nets at the front, on the bottom and on the underside of the lid that are great for keys, credit cards or cash. The clear map pocket on top is touchscreen-friendly and the zippers open and close smoothly and easily with gloves on.
