Can you test it’s waterproof ability’s from the inside? I want to use it for organ transplant deliveries. So I’d have to fill it with ice and bloody organs.
Similar concepts to Oxford tailpack interms of zipoff section which converts to a rucksack. I was also concerned re magnets with other tank bags but was pleasantly surprised. I does look a decent product.
You think you have everything you need and want for biking. Then you see something slightly better in some way and it's a must have item... Damn you spicy for finding these things
Tank bags are great it's a easy solution to extra storage if you don't want to go done the avenue of the whole tank lock ! I use a bit of anti slip mat under mine just to stop the magnets scartching the tank with any crap they may have picked up in use.
You can also strap it around the steer instead of the headstock. I prefer the magnetic version, easier to use in my opinion etc. My old old one isn't waterproof anymore. So a new one would be interesting for sure. Especially with the zipper function. :)
Nice to see a waterproof bag that is actually what it says waterproof had a few of them over the years most work well but on longer rides on motorways not all of them hold out I've found 👍👍
i have an oxford roll top bag which is very water proof, although instead of the window on the front it has two zips which lasted all of five minutes lol, but having it as a tank bag as well as having the window is a brilliant idea.
Great detailed review. I stopped using my tank bag as it wasn't waterproof and just stuck with the backpack seen as UK weather is so freaking unpredictable, this would be ideal for times where I don't need as much luggage space :)
Nice review, roll top bags are usually the dogs unmentionables when it comes to keeping stuff dry! Just passed my CBT and HOPEFULLY getting a bike to do some commuting and travelling on because in my situation it's more convenient than a car... And a waterproof tank bag seems like a good idea to keep my stuff dry in Britain's predictably dreadful weather!
I have a Lomo rucksack for general use and 40l rolltop bag that get strapped across the pillion seat on tours, both great quality and still waterproof after a year of (ab)use. Wouldn’t mind a free tank bag....
That looks fine and dandy. Thanks for your vids Spicy!!! Content is always excellent. Do you think my galaxy tab would be safe to use as a satnav in the clear part? I love the fact that it turns into a rucksack. Thats a must !!!
Looks brill, I'd love a chance to win this. New rider in dire need of bike storage, the more important things like helmet & gear had to come first lol. Looks a good all rounder, nice quality, great video as always Spicy.
Great review as always Spicy. I've just checked Lomo's website and an extension strap is available for £2.50. All in all it looks great value. I have Kreiga tail bags but I am looking for a tank bag. After your review I'll definitely consider one of these. Pass on my best wishes to Reeno as well it's great to see her producing videos again.
How durable is that zip and how long will it last. My tank bag comes with the tank protector which covers the tank, then the bag clicks onto it, it's a double size and when full the bars do hit it on full lock it's on my xj900s
Thats a nice bag been looking for for something like this as my bag ibtakento work. The strap would fit through the risers on my scrambler so strapped to the bars.
Have been looking at tank bags, counts to have come at a better time! That extension you mentioned is now available to purchase from them as well, £2.50
Good review im just wondering are the backpack straps long enough for bigger guys i have a tendancy to struggle being so broad a demo of you wearing it would have been awsome but i guess you might do that in your follow up vid, awsome vid as always mate
Wonder if this would fit my 19yr old Divvy, win or not I'll probably buy one of these after seeing this review, living in North East Scotland, the waterproof test is quite accurate for some of the weather I ride in haha
Just a suggestion for lomo to maybe put a hole for the strapped version? Seeing as it would be harder to take off the lower part of the bag it’ll make it easier to refuel?
This seems brill! I have just passed my bike tests and upgraded to a Fazer 600 from a cbf125 and the only thing I miss is that I had a top box on the Honda and can’t afford to fit one to the FZS yet! This seems like a good trade off as the Fazer is very similar to the XJ. 🤞 for a win, if not, can you post a link to buy? Affiliate link would be good for your channel 👍🏻
I've had a few Lomo products, canoe/kayak stuff and its great gear at a reasonable price. I'm sure this will be as good a product as the rest of their stuff. Even better if I get one for nowt!
I see a lot of good Potential uses for this Also the thing I love is spicy isn’t your “Traditional tester” He goes there and goes past it. Which is why I always see if spicy has done a review before buying bike related things 😂 Great Video Dude 👌
Would love to know if the map pouch let's you use touchscreen phones or gps through it? Either way it would come in extremely handy on my motorway commute to and from work! Love the videos Spicy, keep up the good work!
Looks like a smart bag spicy110, just a thought but there might be some legalities that prevent the front strap from being any longer as it acts a tether to prevent it flying off bike?? As you said when it was hanging off the bike it was clear of the front wheel, you didn't say wether you could safely stop tho but I'd assume you could? Another great one fella
I've used LOMO water sports products before. Great quality at a decent price. I would trust them with regards to waterproofness due to their water sports background over motorbike brands... your camera gear will be fine!!
Just got some lextek panniers (amazing by the way) and this would go really nicely with those as a combination on my lexmoto lxr. Great review of the tank bag :)
To be honest I've only ever used an unbranded tank bag, but it wasn't waterproof so it was a little useless really, but I could see the advantages of using one
spicy110 that said-I used tank bags for years (currently use Kriega because my main bike is an MV Agusta-plastic tank) and never once fastened the headstock strap-even on tours of Europe. Never had any issues.
I looked up Lomo and found that it is a type of photography where you shoot with the camera in your hip, as well as the Spanish word for "tenderloin." So there you are then.
Can you test it’s waterproof ability’s from the inside? I want to use it for organ transplant deliveries. So I’d have to fill it with ice and bloody organs.
Don’t want to leak blood on to my bike!
Similar concepts to Oxford tailpack interms of zipoff section which converts to a rucksack.
I was also concerned re magnets with other tank bags but was pleasantly surprised.

I have magnetic tank bags and I do have a roll bag that i can strap on but never thought of a combination between the two. Good idea
You think you have everything you need and want for biking. Then you see something slightly better in some way and it's a must have item... Damn you spicy for finding these things
Looking at buying a tank bag for my longer trips on my CBR. Might consider this. Thanks for the review!
Good review. Used lomo stuff for years for camping and sailing . That tank bag would be great on my speedmaster and luggage options are limited.
Previous owner of my current bike used a magnetic tank bag and the paint is rubbed off to shit on the tank
You could easily make up an extension strap with clips from a camping shop.
Tank bag looks really good and useful but I agree with you the strap looks like it could get in the way so a extension would be useful
They do some really nice rok strappable roll bags for the rear too - handy for the odd camping trip
Been looking for some sort of storage for the bike that is waterproof and this is perfect

Looks good, would be handy for my daily commute now that the weather is turning!
Getting my first bike and sitting my CBT on Sunday. A new tank bag would be very helpful!
nice to see a fully waterproof tankbag for a change
i have an oxford roll top bag which is very water proof, although instead of the window on the front it has two zips which lasted all of five minutes lol, but having it as a tank bag as well as having the window is a brilliant idea.
Good to know it works on the XJ6 tank! Have a lomo bag to keep my surf stuff in and works a dream, to have a tank bag the same would be ideal...
Great review of what seems like a well built product. Would be handy on winter commutes!
Had tank/tail bags in the past. They were handy for carrying stuff, but they were awful for leaks.
Great detailed review. I stopped using my tank bag as it wasn't waterproof and just stuck with the backpack seen as UK weather is so freaking unpredictable, this would be ideal for times where I don't need as much luggage space :)
Looks like a great product very handy feature with the backpack👍 Keep up the reviews Spicy👍

It looks really good. Very simple but well made.
Hey man keep up the great content. Just started riding 3 weeks ago and your beginners rider tips have been very helpful!
You didn’t mention the inconvenience of access to your petrol tank cap. Pretty sure you can move it to one side though.
hope you and reeno had a nice day mate you taped a cup of tea on your tank did you do the kettle and milk as well
How would these type of bags fit my YBR 125cc unsure if my plastic sides would get in the way
Looks like a good piece of kit.
sounds like a nice bag, been looking at some more storage for my 2017 michigan...... this would help with shopping trips ALOT
That looks fine and dandy. Thanks for your vids Spicy!!! Content is always excellent.
Do you think my galaxy tab would be safe to use as a satnav in the clear part?
I love the fact that it turns into a rucksack. Thats a must !!!

Looks awesome! As always love the Videos Spicy!
Great review! Been looking at tank bags recently, roll tops are timeless and ever so useful!
Do u still have the cannvus bag for back seat of bike
Looked like there was adjustment to had in the strap on the 'male' side of that headstock tether... or was it fixed?
How durable is that zip and how long will it last. My tank bag comes with the tank protector which covers the tank, then the bag clicks onto it, it's a double size and when full the bars do hit it on full lock it's on my xj900s
Looks like a fantastic bag. Good to know it fits on my bike, and XJ6
Thats a nice bag been looking for for something like this as my bag ibtakento work. The strap would fit through the risers on my scrambler so strapped to the bars.
Have been looking at tank bags, counts to have come at a better time! That extension you mentioned is now available to purchase from them as well, £2.50
As soon as I saw it turned into a back pack... I was sold
Good review im just wondering are the backpack straps long enough for bigger guys i have a tendancy to struggle being so broad a demo of you wearing it would have been awsome but i guess you might do that in your follow up vid, awsome vid as always mate

I would like to try out this bag on my CBF, looks like it would be a good fit and very useful!!

Just a suggestion for lomo to maybe put a hole for the strapped version? Seeing as it would be harder to take off the lower part of the bag it’ll make it easier to refuel?

perfect bag for my raining environment i ride in
I was always worried that the tank bag would damage the paintwork after a while, maybe that's not the case these days.
I see a lot of good Potential uses for this
Also the thing I love is spicy isn’t your
“Traditional tester”
He goes there and goes past it. Which is why I always see if spicy has done a review before buying bike related things 😂
Great Video Dude 👌
great review. this makes me want to buy a tank bag. especially because it’s always raining here. hello from the philippines spicy.
Been looking for a good tank bag, can't go far wrong with a rolltop!
That's interesting! Never thought of a magnetic tank bag. I can see it being useful for some trips and adventures!
Would love to know if the map pouch let's you use touchscreen phones or gps through it? Either way it would come in extremely handy on my motorway commute to and from work!
Love the videos Spicy, keep up the good work!
Oh damn that is a silly one to forget, I just tested it and with my phone it worked fine. 👍
@@spicy110 cheers for checking bud!

Looks pretty good. Like the detachable rucksack :)
Great vid as always spicy
Will be very helpful for useing a satnav
Love lomo stuff! I have the soft panniers. This tank bag would complete the set.
Just got some lextek panniers (amazing by the way) and this would go really nicely with those as a combination on my lexmoto lxr. Great review of the tank bag :)
I've never been too sure on the idea of having a tank bag, but I won't say no, if I won the giveaway. Thanks for all the great vids Spicy
I like the duel functionality of tank bag and backpack.
They do a 50cm headstock extension strap for £2-50.
Indeed they do, not sure if they did at the time this video was made or not.
Damn that would be handy. Here in Wales, I've dived in the sea and came out dryer than being in the rain. XD
Big up spicy, good honest review
it'd keep your nads dry on the dr too, unfortunately my dr has a plastic tank......
Looks like it’s going on my Christmas list if I dint win. As always a bloody good review 👍👍👍
WINNER!!!! Please email me at spicy110business@yahoo.com
@@spicy110 "BREAD BASKET" 😁👍😁
Been looking at tank bags recently 😂 this is very helpful
Almost missed this! Would be amazing to win, actually found the need for additional storage recently. Amazing video as always mate!
To be honest I've only ever used an unbranded tank bag, but it wasn't waterproof so it was a little useless really, but I could see the advantages of using one
An excellent tank bag buddy and a very good review. Keep up the great work.....
Another good video mate.
Looks a good tank bag too
Great review Spicy
this looks like a useful bit of kit
It will only be any good if you can use it for magnet fishing
Not saying you can't 😆
That would be handy!! im getting fed up of having a bag on my back!!
Spicy, what's your top 5 125's list? Gimmie that bag 😶
You didn't put it on the CBR.
Yer sadly reeno was not back in time to test.
Nice review. Solid tester!
They now sell the extension strap. PS...want the bag. 😃
Turns out they always have but I didn't look, but I think it should be included as on all bikes tested more length would help.
spicy110 that said-I used tank bags for years (currently use Kriega because my main bike is an MV Agusta-plastic tank) and never once fastened the headstock strap-even on tours of Europe. Never had any issues.
You have an MV 🤤 😉
spicy110 she’s lovely too. If you ever come way ooop north you’re welcome to borrow for a review.
Nice to see it fit on nicely to the drz
Love the vids keep up the good work
Love your videos spicy, just got my first bike and would love to win the bag. Keep up the good work 👍
*cries in plastic fuel tank*
A good tank-bag is an essential luggage item for the motorcyclist, I say, What!?!? 👍 🏍
Seems like a nice bag and a great review
I looked up Lomo and found that it is a type of photography where you shoot with the camera in your hip, as well as the Spanish word for "tenderloin." So there you are then.
Good vid, honest review, looks like a decent bag.
Multifunction Tank Bags are a great idea for all bikers!
looks a pretty good bag, great review
Oo I'd like a cheeky tank bag for my SV, love the vids
Great review!
Could have used this today, got absolutely soaked on way home, my bag’s not as waterproof as I thought it was 🤣
