Dririder tank bag

[MaxB]

Here is a heads up on the Dririder Voyager 2-tier tank bag.

I paid about $170 about 2 years ago and on a recent trip to Gisborne the lower bag started to separate from the magnetic base. By the time I got home it was rooted. It failed in a few different places at once, unlike when cordura tears and the material goes in one long rip. It looks like the welding from the sidewalls to the base has let go.

I phoned Whites and asked if I could get/buy a replacement base they said they couldn't do anything and it would be cheaper to buy a new bag. This bag has been used about 10 times. For my commute I use other options, this was for touring. The Oxford bag I had lasted 10 years.

So for mine the quality sucks.

BTW I took Whites advice a bought a new bag made by.........Givi

Interesting, I've used one of these everyday for a couple of years and I've never had a problem with it.

If you are going to bin it, chuck it my way :-) I will have a look and see if it can be sewn up

i have a "motodry" tank bag, didnt cost me much, came with a watterproof bag inside but even without it it is very waterproof and i use it everyday and is fine. sounds like you got a dud!!!!!!!!

Aye, just bought a motoline tankbag. Came with a cover, but looks fairly robust, and waterproof. Checked out all the seals and stichings before buying, so will have to see how long it lasts. Is going to get regular use.....
