Acerbis tank
Having bought an Acerbis tank for my XT600, I'm wondering if anyone has managed to find a tank bag that will fit on there? Ideally one that could also be carried like a rucksack. If not a tank bag, then what do people use on Acerbis tanks?
Geoff
PS, I'll also post this in the equipment section too.

Any particular model? Do they do one specifically for the Acerbis tank?

A couple of great suggestions there Ted, thanks. Did you use one on your American trip and did it give you enough carrying space?

I didnt have any for my South American trip, I couldnt find anything at the time and didnt know about the wolfman stuff...
The tankbag is great, i was always needing something small for day to day items, documents, camera etc ! It's a god send now. It's easy to take on and off too
No personal experiences of the tank packs though. Should be WAY MORE on ADV rider though, being yank n all.
