- I have a big non-magnetic tankbag too. The trouble with mine is that it
- interferes with the handlebar switchgear on full lock...normally this is
- not too much of a problem...but when I went to France last year, I had to
- turn the bike round in the car deck of the ferry...the horn button made
- constant contact with the tankbag, so the horn was blaring away in the
- big echoing cavern of a car deck, making me less than popular with everyone
- else on board...unfortunately it took several goes to get the bike pointing
- the other way....
