tank bag for trophy

does anyone know of a magnetic tank bag that fits a 1995 trophy comfortably? the only bag the dealer could suggest is a strap-on affair - i really wanted the simplicity of magnets.

cheers!

Here is the answer to your problem!!

I have a 2003 Trophy. I wanted a tank bag as I was going on a European trip. I saw bags at crazy money....until I went to Lidl. I bought a bag with magnets on the bottom, it was expandable depending on how much I wanted to fit into it. It had straps too but I didn't use them at all. The fairing on a trophy gives almost 100% protection to anything sitting on the tank. And the bag cost £14 !!! (which also included a waterproof cover!).

I have a magnetic bag which I got from Hein Gericke, one of the cheaper ones, I paid less than £30 for it It's been round Euroland with me, and never budged, I even had my Garmin Street Pilot 111 attached to it last year, before I bought a RAM mount
