Thanks for all the input gang.  I pulled the trigger on the 14l Cortech from motorcyclesuperstore.com.  Good price!  While there I picked up a new Michelin Pilot Road 2 for the front of the Multistrada (another great price!) and got free shipping.  I'm really grateful for the detailed mounting pics too.  Thanks again for all the hard work there.  I think this'll be just the ticket for the Tricolore, nicely shaped, not too gangly large, but a pretty useful size for day trips and the little odds & ends needed for everyday commuting.  Another pregnant dogen accessory!!!

Just a quick plug to give a thumb's up  to motorcyclesuperstore.com.  The tank bag & tire arrived quickly and in perfect condition.  They kept in touch via e-mail and gave me tracking information and a follow-up survey to make sure I got the stuff properly and was satisfied with the parts and service they offerred.  Good company!  Now it's time to mount up that Cortech tank bag!  Thanks again for all the input and pics.

Appears I'm too late but I'll give a +1 for the Bags Connection/SW-MoTech sold at www.twistedthrottle.com:

My girlfriend has the "Engage" model and it's just made for the monster.  Barely touches the tank at all, rock solid mounting, unobtrusive and has other options available.

The also have a larger version the "Engage-XL":

Hope some others may find these useful.

I have this one and it works well. It also expands from 17 to 30 liters if you need it to. I can also strap it to the seat behind me if I want to. Plus it has the magnetic option if you want to use it on another bike. One drawback is that it has no smaller pockets for quick access stuff like wallets or cameras.

Ordered a Cortech Super 10 from the local shop last week. Only looking to hold a change of cloths for the beach. They had a super mini and it was perfect but you can't put much in that. The super 10 is supposed to be about 2.5 inches longer.

Perfect for the autocomm, satellite radio, wallet, keys...

although the online info does not specify, it comes with straps to hold it on bikes with plastic tanks

Herm,
've been looking for that RT bag for a while but no one local has on. How is the quality? Could you be a lamb and take a few pics and post them once you fit it?

THaaaaanks.
