My '02 OEM Tank Bag map pocket has developed holes. Time for a new tank bag. I have been very happy with the OEM bag except for the way the map pocket angles down towards the front. No biggy, I would buy another OEM bag if I can find one. The dealer says that it is no longer available. I asked them to look for the later version that has the photoreflective piping.
What tank bag are you using? Please include pics.
Hey Stephen,
I have the Wolfman Expedition (small). It's on the small side but holds all the small essentials.

I like the bag and it is in good shape. I'm gonna look for a replacement map pouch.
I have a motocentric 7 that fits nice though I would prefer something that held a gps better for glare. Handlebars suck too IMO. Nicely made, good features and priced well at $50 or so. No pics as I'm currently bikeless and stupid me left the strap on the old tiger so I'll need to buy a new one when I pick the new bike up on Friday.
Finding a replacement map pouch is not as easy as I hoped. The Wolfman Rainier Tank Bag looks promising; however, I have a contact at Triumph USA, in Georgia, checking with the North American dealers to see if there is an OEM bag lying about.
Hey Piney-
This is a link I posted a few years back. It was a simple mod. If the pouch is still available I would look into doing something like this.

BTW I did end up scooting the map pocket up slightly to utilize the bottom snap and added a snap to the top of the pocket to coincide with the stock snap on the triumph tank bag
Good luck
Thanks Mini Mo. That map pocket is no longer available; however, you have put my head in another direction.
