Any good bags that don't require rack/bracket? (lemmy.world)

MT-09 owner, no rack/bars/brackets back there just the passenger pegs to strap to. Any luggage suggestions?

Flip side, how much do you need to carry? Would a tank bag work?

Tank bags are one of those black magic things I'm still hesitant about. What's your experience? Any scratches on the tank?

Edit to add: I usually wear a backpack for clothes and stuff for a few nights going somewhere, but it gets a little uncomfortable after an hour or so. Ideally I'd like to not have to wear the backpack at all but I guess at the very least a tank bag would lighten the load.

Don't use one as I'm still slowly buying what I need, and my bike takes pannier racks. 😂

You might want to see if anyone sells a ring lock solution for yours, as at least with my bike the options will elevate the bag from the tank.

Ah ok, thanks. I'll look into it!
