Really nice shot you took. Here's a pic of mine all loaded up and ready to do some serious miles.

Thanks for the picture . I see that you've got the R3 tank bag. Are you happy with it ?
Any risk to scratch the paint ? Is it easy and quick to remove it (just the time of a coffee break) ? Does it prevent seeing entirely the dashboard ? Else +/- ?
I've got the tail bag and happy with it but I may also get the tank bag.

I've asked here back in May for some info. but the answers were rather against it in general :

Triumph Magnetic tank bag ?

Anyone having the experience of the magnetic tank bag for the 2020 R3 ? Would it scratch the tank painting ? Where do the security strap go (just in the front and around the steering column) ? Secure enough (at reasonable speed) ? Else ?

I'm very happy with the tank bag and would recommend it. Answers to you questions:
* Not much risk of scratching the paint, there is a somewhat tacky but non-abrasive surface where the bag contacts the tank
* There is a strap at the handle bar to really secure the front of the bag which is fussy until you learn the proper way to attach/detach
* No issues seeing the dash

My favorite feature is one you don't see. Under the zippered top of the bag there are a number of small pockets to organize chargers/cords etc. Nicely done Triumph!

I like the tank bag as well. The only reason I don't always use it is I like to see the beautiful red paint

Got a little altitude in Massachusetts since the power was still out.
