Larger "tank" style bags?
no sure what section would be best for this question. hope this is good.
I have a couple bags like this on project builds
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ELECTRA-TOW...oAAOxyBotTX5gs
they're nice, but kind of small. just looking for similar bags for that location, with a similar "tank" type shape, only larger. and in this case red if I could find it, but regular black if the size is good.
thanks for any help.

Revelate Tangle bag, it is a half frame bag. There are others out there, Apidura comes to mind if you are based in Europe.
If none of them fit your needs, it is time to go custom. Back in the day (ok, 5 or 10 years ago) people used to have the local seamstress sew bags based on a cardboard cutout of the frame triangle. Now there are a lot of people doing custom work. I suggest looking for someone local if you chose that route.

I got one of these Banjo Brothers bags.

Not a "tank" style, rather a top tube bag. But I wanted something smallish and yet still large enough to offer reasonable use, that I could use and still not overly interfere with water bottle usage. This bag did the trick. It's stiff with double two way zippers that can be used one handed. And if one zipper went bad, it is still usable with the other zipper. It is very economically priced and yet seems well made to me. They do make a top tube bag that mounts on top, aka "tank" bag.

Someone already mentioned rogue Panda (i own two of theirs and they are great, albeit expensive). someone recommended Moosetrak frame bag.
But the OP asked about a fuel tank bag, which could work in addition to the suggested frame bags. I'm also kind of curious about one since I only have a small standard size fuel tank. For longer tours having a fuel tank in addition to a frame bag would be nice.

sorry, the subscription thing isn't working for me.
thanks for the replies. i was calling it a "tank" style bag because of the location, and thinking it's a throwback ideafrom the old schwinns that had the horn/light tanks. i don't want it for fuel. i also have the banjo bros. bag on another bike. nicer size, but i'm hoping to find a red bag (i've tried vinyl/cloth paints with some success. if i caught a good enough deal on another banjo bros. i might give that a try).
gonna look into the rouge panda idea too. that's also making me think about the heavy duty sewing machine i was thinking of buying (my mother could sew really well and i'm always tempted to try myself). thanks again.

I just recently became aware of these folks when I asked somebody on another forum where they got their frame bag. Looks like decent stuff.
