A motorcycle tank bag mounting arrangement is disclosed consisting of front and rear harnesses adpted to be secured about the motorcycle frame members to the front and rear of the motorcycle tank. Quick disconnect fastener elements are carried by each harness adapted to mate with corresponding quick disconnect fastener elements secured to straps fastened to the bottom of the motorcycle tank bag providing a three-point retention. A motorcycle tank pad is positioned underneath the bottom of the tank bag by the tank bag straps passing through slits formed in the pad.
