I was walking through Wal-mart the other night on a mission to find a dvd that they did not have :( but I found this awesome Hello Kitty bag instead. I thought how cool would this be as a tank bag for my phone and mp3 player? So I bought it for $10 some magnets for ~$3 and used some fabric I already had and made this awesomeness. I sewed up this little pocket thing for the magnets. There are 16 magnets (3/4inch). You can kind of see the grid I sewed to keep them all in place.
Then I stitched the four corners and the middle part to the hello kitty bag. I took the strap off of the bag and also removed the back ears because they had metal eyelets and I didn't want it scratching up my tank.
It fits my phone and zune perfectly with some extra room. I took it for a test ride and it stays on like a dream.

So now you can all go running to Wally World and make your own awesome Hello Kitty tank bags! :hellokitty:

:thumbup:

/moved to cargo space

How resourceful! I like your initiative and craftsmanship :thumbup:

Definitely very unique addition and display of your personality. :thumbup:

Sanrio called: They want to sue. Even though the bag you paid for was properly licensed, they just don't like it when someone comes up with a Hello Kitty product that doesn't already exist as a licensed product.

Love it, how ingenious! Placement is good too ;)

I would consider something similar but I've been banned from putting any more HK on my bike or gear lol

I was in the middle of chewing my breakfast when I read this post. Thanks to you I now have half chewed cereal all over my laptop.

Zune?


what is that?

:lol:

That's so cool! Style points! I want to make some one off stuff for my bike.

I Like it :thumbup::thumbup:

I also added bows to my new helmet :D

helmet and miss kitty are both BA not gonna lie. i think having stuff like that on your gear and bike and making it unique is part of owning a bike to begin with. You get +10 interwebz miss mcnuggett

after i get back from at i want to get a monkey vinyl for the right side of my bike and i want the airforce star and canon logos (from kaneda's bike) for the left side. not cargo related but def personalizing related ;)

I'm not hating, just saying, There's a muff diving pussy on your bike

Just the way I like it! ;)

But seriously, that's totally not in my "muff". Like most women mine is securely located between my legs, not in the middle of my abdomen. :rolleyes: jus sayin'

Oh you poor poor man... :sad:

Oh. Was that where the joke went? I thought it was looking up at her chest. But I can't be down w/ the other one. Too crass for my tastes :headshake:

Oh you poor poor man... :sad:


Whew, i'm glad we got this cleared up before I go meet the lady tomorrow!


:heh:

:lol:

Why not go all out and have a decal on the side of the cowlings of Hello Kitty or that bow-tie skull? Great big and in yer face size?

Crafty. Very crafty indeed. If my mother rode a motorcycle, she would want one of these.

Nicely done!

Just the way I like it! ;)

Any pro knows you start there to increase the anticipation!

I'm not so big on in your face kind of stuff. Also I like my bike being all black, it makes me feel like batman.

and Jiggles it sounds like you really know what you're doing. :rolleyes:

+1 :D

Ha! Great tank bad!

I do wonder about the potential dangers of having these magnets so close to your electronics. Usually tank bags are made of materials a bit thicker than this one.

Hopefully, everything is safe :)

A music player...I thought those things had become obsolete, guess I was wrong.

Just Zunes....

Mhh I was going to make a comment about magnets and electronics but looks like someone has beat me to it. Let me know if you have any issues with any of your electronics or cards with it being that close. I have one myself but i always put my furthest away from the evil erasers as I can just to be safe.
This post made me crack up juts saying lol. Once I wash my bike I'm putting Andy the android noming on an apple on the side of my bike :D

Just Zunes....

geez.... why you so harsh?

I know I'm the only one in the world who still owns and uses a zune, I just love it so much!


Also, there are sticky foam pieces on the backs of the magnets because they were self adhesive. The foam is about a quarter inch thick and the magnets aren't very big so the side facing my devices has no magnetic strength. That's a good point though, I'd be devastated if anything happened to my zune! :p

Hey I like Zunes :thumbup: Hate apple :D

My sister has a zune... and a lack of chromosomes...

Lol just cuz I said I liked them doesnt mean I said I have one.

haha my friend has a Zune. He gave it to me to use for some of his songs for his wedding and I was like wtf a Zune? Who has these? He hates everything Apple, so he said he bought it. But he makes fun of it as well... lol Zunes are almost as bad as Beta tape players, or laser disc players... haha

I guess im just a dick :p

Lol I guess I like the idea of it lol, haven't actually had one :D I dont see the point in a MP3 when I got my phone :D

That tank bag is adorable! Love the contrast between it and your badass all-black ninjette!

Not sure why everyone is talking about music players, but as we are... I have this:
http://techreport.com/r.x/sandisk-clipplus/money.jpg
It's a Sansa Clip+

I chose that picture so you can see how awesomely small it is. I've had it about a year now and it's still going strong and serving my daily, private, musical needs :D

Never tried a Zune before. I'd probably be happy with any player that has 5+ hours of battery life and doesn't require stupid software to be installed in order to drop your files on it... like the Creative Zen... which is stupid.

Yeah. I still have unlimited data. Soooo Pandora... Besides my phone is big enough I dont need a separate music player...

Pandora doesn't like my 3G DroidX lol but I got like 100 classical songs on my phone that I listen to while I ride so its all goods :D

Sansa clip is awesome and completely obliterates the ipod shuffle

That it does, I loved mine, was a little upset when the clip part of it broke but it was still good.

Ha! Great tank bad!

Just to update on this topic my electronics seem to be fine but I recently had to replace my headphones. The speakers went out on both sides, I'm pretty sure the magnets had something to do with it. I always left the headphones in the bag. I'll have to remember with this new pair to take them out with my zune when I'm done riding.

You have the http://www.nme.com/boards/images/smilies/werd.gif of approval!

I too own a Zune. And for everyone who is hating on Zune. You let me know when Apple comes out with something that can compare to the Zune Pass.

FTFY :cool:

touche good sir. touche

Very cool! And, the helmet is awesome!

I love seeing the things that crafty people come up with!

and I never had a Zune, but I did have the Sansa Zen for a while (blue screen of death eventually). Now I just rely on Spotify Premium and have about 200+ songs downloaded to my GS3. Can't skip songs with my gloves on though. :(

For real dude. I had to google that, and I still don't know what a Zune Pass is.

"Sansa Zen?" I know there are a bunch of Sandisk Sansa players and a bunch of Creative Zen players, but a "Sansa Zen?"

Ahh, good call. I had a 'moment' there...

This is what I had.
neat, but didn't last long.

This is what I use now, with my phone tucked inside, and I can control the music with the cord that is attached to the pouch. (it has a clicker-button. 1 click for Pause/Play, 2 clicks for skip song)

Ah! That explains it. :) I loved the Sandisk Sansa Express because it supported subscription music and MicroSD expansion with an OLED display and a built-in USB port (no need for a cable). The only thing that would have made it better would be a retracting USB port like the Samsung U2.
