A tank bag can be more convenient than a hard top case and is a must-have accessory for your Kawasaki if you’re looking for storage solutions. You’ll want to make sure you get the right bag for the right model so that it fits properly and there’s no chance of it sliding off during your ride. The Ninja 500 is one of the most popular Kawasaki motorcycles for new riders, so if you’re one of the many bikers who own this model, you can get this specialized tank bag (product code #99994-0803) for $223. (Unfortunately, the Tank Bag Bracket needed to mount the bag is sold separately.)
The bag is 17 x 11 x 6 inches and can expand an additional three inches of vertical storage, giving it a capacity of 18-21 liters. It will hold its shape even when empty thanks to its reinforced body, and its water-resistant nylon construction means it won’t wear down on you, even after many rugged rides. A rain cover is also included. Plus, it’s designed with reflective piping to make you more visible in the dark.
A clear window tray allows you to see contents from the outside, such as change for tolls, making them easy to grab quickly. An internal mesh pocket can also keep smaller, easy-to-lose items separate and easier to find. One particularly useful feature is the tube port at the top of the bag, granting you direct access to power banks or water bladders that can recharge your phone or quench your thirst. The tank bag is also easy to take with you on the go, thanks to a conveniently located handle that’s attached to it.
