Marsee tank bag
« on: March 10, 2014, 07:22:14 PM »
Hi there...I need to find a tank bag for my 1990 K75C...has anyone tried the Marsee 12 liter teardrop?  I have 2-oem bags that need zipper repair, but have not found anyone local to fix 'em.  Thanks

Take your current tank back to a shoe cobbler.  They can replace the zippers.

Linda T custom tank bags repairs zippers on Multivario bags.....

I have not had one done but she is reputable on other forums.
Imagine that.

Hi MEL,

I have tried to contact Linda T several times, with no response.  Her websit has not been updated since 2011.  It looks like she may be out of business.

I just took my bag down to the local Auto Trim and upholstery shop and had the elastic in the base plate changed. He was happy to do it had it back the next day for $30.

I think the problem may be more finding the right zipper and they didn't want to go through the trouble of finding it . If you had the zipper in hand that may resolve the issue and make it a quick job for them.
