I need to be in San Jose, CA for one day on business soon (9 days). I'm scheming on making it into a 1,000 mile scenic route (round-trip) on the Scura. I've got a good backpack, but I'm going to want to take just a little bit more.
Givi has a method of strapless mounting their tank bags to the fuel door ring - but I'm concerned that it will require removal of the tank pad (which rises up above the level of the fuel door ring). The video at the link below shows how the bag works with a flush-mounted fuel door.

Alternatively, I could go with a tail bag. This looks like an easy mount on the passenger seat. But the concern here is about straps that may rub and damage the tender matte-grey paint.

One requirement - the bag (tank or tail) I select must accommodate a whole pie. Odd requirement, I know, but this is very important. There is a place at the end of a twisty road that sells pies. If the Scura can deliver pies on Sunday mornings, then everyone is happy...
Has anybody used either of these products? Alternatively, is anybody super-happy with a different tank bag or tail bag? If so, please make a recommendation.
