first, welcome and congrats...next, i have been using an icon urban backpack/tankbag for over a year with zero problems...when mounted on the tank, it is short enough not to hinder my view of the gauges and yet big enough to fit a pair of jeans, shorts, 3 t-shirts, rain gear, laptop, digital camera, cell phone, a book, small notebook, toothbrush and paste, deodorant, razor, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, socks, etc. (i just did it this last weekend for over 800 miles with it on there), the fit on the laptop is a little tight on the corners...one thing i love is the ability to store your helmet on the bottom of the bag when using it as a backpack when you are stopped and off the bike as i hate having to carry it around...you don't have to worry arout it trying to pick up off the tank at any speed, i know that it is rock solid at +150 registered, of course that was someone else who tried it:-)...good luck
