hey greg,
not to many around that ive seen have everything needed. i have a teknic double-stack that has a great map pocket but is to wide for the ambo. the handle bars hit it. i got a marsee tankbag that is teardrop shaped,fits the ambo. expands upwards to almost double size,but has a slightly smaller map pocket. but they do make it in a magnetic version(mine has straps) i would reccomend it even though you have to creativly fold your map. but on a brighter note,old atlas pages tend to fit well in the map pocket. so all you need to do is get an older atlas to use as tank bag foder. cut them up and use the individual pages. i usually look for last years atlases because they are generally cheap.

Big zip-lock bag and some magnet strips works well.

I chose the Chase Harper 750 Compact Tank Bag w/Multi-Mount System. I don't like it at all. Here's why: 1. The clear map pocket isn't big enough to hold a standard roadmap on it's normal folds...I end up having to fold my maps in umpteen weird ways just to fit in. 2. There is a large 2 inch flap that covers the main entry zipper...forcing me to undress the thing just top open it up. At the end of the day, I just want a magentic tank bag that is easy to get in and out of, fits the loop tank well, and that has a descent clear map pocket. Recommendations, anyone?
