cheap map viewer on tank?

[Hipporider]

Anybody got any cheap and easy ideas on how to have maps displayed on ya tank?
I have a tank bag ,but it doesnt fit the R3 (doesnt get called a hippo for nothing!),so thats out ,unless i get the straps elongated.
I am wary of duct tape damaging paint work, otherwise i would tape a water proof sleeve onto the tank.
its only temporary whilst on the Salvo run, i might add.

How about one of the big 2gal ziplock bags. Secure to the tank with two sided 3m tape. Remove with hair dryer.

I've seen them in the the shops. It is just a flat window panel which either magnetic or quick release mounting for the fuel tank. JC Whitney still carries them under "Map Pouch". Link is below.

The link is longer than the Magna Carta so if it doesn't work, go to Google and type in "Motorcycle tank map pouch" and you should get a number of hits, to include the JC Whitney site. Good luck.

Man you guys are gonna have a blast.
Can't wait to see all the pictures.
Don't forget to post some pics of y'all's adventure over on the
RocketsAcrossAmerica site.
Like I said before, "thats a name" but its for Rocket enthusiasts,
no matter where they're from.
I'd love to see the roads, and hopefully, somebody will have a video camera mounted.
So the rest of us can live vicariously through your adventure.

Hey Mike ,they look the business..that last one stuck on the Yammy hangs over the side heaps or maybe it folds over to cover the map ,perhaps?
