Just got it on the bike. Waited a month on backorder it’s so popular. 
 

This is the large model at $89.99. Perfect fit for the T7, very well made, very well thought out storage options. The center divider is removable by Velcro. I chose to use it due to the slope at the bottom of the bag. Advertises 8 liters storage space. Not to big bit not to small on the T7. Does not interfere with bars at full lock left or right. Does not interfere in the standing position.

Just got mine and I’m pretty impressed. I looked at others for $150 on up and couldn’t justify spending that much.

I ordered one as well.  The 'large' actually is a fair bit smaller than I had hoped.  Quality seems good though.  I like the adjustable divider, too.  Still, size is king; I'm passing it on to a buddy who has no tank bag, and keeping my decade+ old Wolfman.

I liked it on the road but off-road I had a hard time standing up with the bag there. I had it pushed as far forward a I could.

Is it balancing on the top of the gas filler cap?. Or is it soft in bottom ?

It is a neoprene rubbery bottom. Has not scratched my paint in the time it has been on there even on dusty off road rides.

Because it’s outstanding polish for a visor or windscreen. 
 

And I own two Honda’s besides the T7.

I find when I stand up ride I have a slightly forward lean. Do tank bags get in the way of stand up riding?

I have not noticed this one bothering me on the T7 but on my Africa Twin the Givi tanklock bag I had on it did bother me. It was a much bigger bag however.

They can,  but it varies based on different factors.   The Tusk bag is small enough and can be run forward enough that it shouldn't be an issue.

I was thinking about getting the Giant Loop. I wonder if that one gets in the way. That Tusk looks pretty good too. Maybe a little small though.

I attached mine to the triangular upper motor mount behind the head.
