Magnetic tank bag
If you are using a mounted magnetic compass and use a magnetic tank bag, then you are going to have issues with deviation. The tank bag will really screw up the compass and you will you will never achieve accuracy with the compass. Even by walking away from the bike with the compass, the sphere of influence could not be determined. Use a "Strap On". Thank's Phoenix. Never considered the bag. Smitty

good tip, thanks mate

It's worse than that.. I don't put any electronics in the tank bag... strong magnetic fields (those little magnets are realy strong) can play havoc with electronics..
I found that my compass was re-magnetised by the tank bag, so I couldn't even use it once I'd walked away from the bike.. I had to throw it away. Next time, I'll go for a strap secured tank bag.. definitely not magnet secured! |
