Tusk Olympus vs Nelson Riggs tank bag for my 2015 1200 ES

[sixstring531]

Looking for a budget tank bag for my beautiful (red) 2015 ES.

Anyone have experience with either of these, and if so, do you mind sharing your thoughts?

They seem quite similar, with the Nelson getting the nod for more available space.

I have the large Tusk one.
It is working very nice but it took some time getting used to the smaller size.
I think I like the looks a lot better than the big ones I've had in the past.
As of now I would buy it again.

I had the Tusk on a KLR and, like @eemsreno said, the smaller size takes some getting used to. I am currently looking for one to go on my new to me S10 as well but decided to look for something a bit larger that the Tusk. I may have to give the Nelson-Rigg a shot.

Been using a 15 liter GIVI for the past 90,000 miles but the top zipper is shot so I was hoping to find something about the same size with a better zipper, no luck so I ordered another 15 liter GIVI. I highly prefer using a tankring lock so the tankring setup from the old tankbag will be transferred to the new tankbag. I also had $20 in Zilla cash that needed to be used in the next couple weeks.
