Finally, the tank bag that I mentioned in my blog showed up today.
I think it was $22 bucks and change with shipping.

the link: http://www.newenoughhp.com/closeouts/luggage/rapid_transit/bradley_strap_mount_tank_bag.html

The map pocket up top wasn't as deep as I hoped to be, but the whole bag fits perfect for the 250! I secured it using the straps provided and it's not going anywhere. If I get paranoid later on with heavier load, I'll buy some magnets for the bottom.

Also installed GPS mount with zipties. yes, I know about a certain ball mount. I can only be a cheapass right now.

4. Wiring was done by using factory auxiliary outs and weatherized 12 volt power outlet.
