Found bar bag to be just what I needed to keep the smaller knick knacks nearby. Sunglasses, tire pressure gauge, pocket knife etc. The problem I found though was the phone pocket was a little small. I had to really squeeze in my LG G3 and then I found the glare from the sun made the screen unreadable and in 33�c heat my phone continually overheated and shutdown to avoid potential damage. Overall this bag is very useful and well built but spending the extra money for the media version just wasn't worth it.
Excelent product

I got this as an afterthought, but has been a great farkle. It mounts super easy with the Velcro tabs. Keep flashlight, sunglasses, phone and little odds and ends in it. A keeper for sure.
phone pocket TOO small

Good bag, haven't ridden in the rain with it but it looks to be waterproof. Handy and not in the way as tank bags can be. Only a couple of things, the straps that hold it on are just barely long enough (1200GSA) so to get a good grip for the velcro fastener it has to be pulled enough to deform the bag some. And this causes the velcro that holds the cover flap closed to barely be able to grip. Also the phone pocket, it's way too small. Probably fit a flip phone but very few of those left. If your iPhone is not in any kind of case it mat be a tight fit in that pocket, most of the android phones are larger than iPhones these days so no way one of them is going in that little pocket.

I had the earlier version of this handlebar bag and it was not only not water repellent, it seemed like a water magnet. Plus, the straps were just a tad too short and I always had problems getting the straps to hang tight to the velcro. This version seems to be MUCH better on the waterproof side of things, though I haven't had it in a deluge yet. Nonetheless, when I got the bag, I immediately wet it down and the water just ran off. Also, I don't know whether the straps are really longer than the old version but it seems to strap down much tighter. You will still lose a bit of interior space when you secure it since the fork heads will push the middle in a little, but it still works well. All in all, I like it. Keeps all my little bits right at my fingertips without having to have a big tank bag.
Good construction; flaws.

The bag construction is sturdy and fits an iPhone 5 with a Lifeproof case just fine. When it rains, the media-area soaks up the water and because of the plastic cover retains moisture for quite a while--fogging up the screen and keeping the phone damp. The main/side compartments repel water so those are fine for the garage door opener and transponder. HOWEVER, the real problem here is that handlebars are different across models and this is a one-size-fits-all bag. Worse, the four straps are inadequate to retain this bag to the crossbar; on the F650GS, the bag is wider than the gap between the handler rise. Rather than returning the item, I zip-tied it from the carrying strap hooks to the mirrors--it prevents me from easily removing the bag while parked but I don't have to worry about it falling off or fuss with the velcro while riding. I would not purchase this again to go on an F650GS--too many flaws for the price. Thanks for reading.

Put this on a new 2014 GSA Liquid Cooled BMW. Fits as expected but does loose some of the internal space because of the design of the BMW. some other stated that the iPhone 5 would not fit and mine does fine,. in fact I have a battery pack on my phone and although it is a tight squeze it fit with the Mophie battery pack on the phone as well. Overall I would purchase again

I installed the Handlebar Bag on my '14 GSA upside down from the photo. It fit better that way and, while underway, I can access it easier as the top lays on the tank. I two weeks into a month-long trip and have experienced California "monsoon." The interior of the bag has stayed dry. I'm very satisfied with the bag and glad to be rid of the tank bag.
Cute bag for on-the-go

Got it to replace tank bag for my R1200R. Its a bit smaller than I was expecting and if you store the carry strap there is a lot less room. It is well made and fits really well on the bike. The inner shaping plastic piece buckled up and I thought about shortening it but just took it out. Have not used it much since so cant comment on the fit without that extra support/stability. If you carry small stuff it works a treat. I got it to replace my tank bag for daily use to safe scratching the tank (has a nice paint job!) and its OK for that. Less one star for the rather casual velcro closure of the flap/cover and the buckling inside plastic piece.

Fits great on the R12GSA. The phone pocket is sized for small phones without protective covers. Happy customer!
