Default Tank bag for '06 GSX-R750?

I'm riding up to Montreal for the F1 in June and want to get a tank bag for the trip. Anyone got some suggestions for me? I like the Axio bag (http://www.axio-usa.com/) but it's expensive & a little small. The '06 also has the plastic airbox cover on the front half of the "tank" so it's only half metallic.

Thanks.

Ask Rock712...he has a great tank bag...of course I'm not sure if it will fit your bike but it's worth asking him what brand it is...

I am using a Joe rocket 2 piece tank bag.. My tank is also half plastic, and I am not very confident that it will hold if I use both bags and they are full. I think yer gunna need a strap on.

The tank bag makes the ride 100x more comfortable if its high enough to lean on.. I did a montreal trip myself in sept 05 and without the tankbag im not sure id have made it.

I also just got the coretec sport tailbag last week, but i have used it yet. it will hold about the same amount as a large tank bag.

Thanks for the info dude. I've compiled a list of tank/tail bags I'm considering, I'll post it up if people are interested.
