Anyone have any experience w/ lockable tank bag setups?
The S3 has a plastic tank which renders my Joe Rocket bag useless and I hate having straps hanging all over the bike. I also can't stand wearing a backpack on longer rides.
So what options does that leave me?
Well, I've see the lockable setups that mount to a ring around the gas cap. Kind of expensive, but would solve my problems.
Anyone use or have used these?
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Saddlebags!!
ummmm... no
maybe for touring, but not for day to day use

To further clarify, the reason for the tank bag is for easy access to identification. Since I work at Buckley I need to have like 30 ID's to get to work. Every gate wants a different set and it's a royal PIA to dig through pockets w/ frozen fingers searching for specified ID.
Tank bags allow for one stop easy access for whichever the ID de jour is.
While saddle bags would certainly accomplish the need to drag stuff around w/ me, they wouldn't fulfill my main needs.

Aw cmon! Saddlebags are awesome. You can fill 'em with be... sodas.
This won't solve your tank bag problem, but I thought this might interest you...

I know where you live and I've seen where you sleep. Your parents are going to cry when they see what I've done to you!
BTW, anyone know a good place in Utah to dispose of a body?

Don't threaten me! My wife beats up kids for a living!
BTW - Carl and Mark both have plasic tanks - I'd talk to them about their tankbags.
