Mark i was hoping someone would have known of a brand of bag that could work for you, however heres an idea you can use if you choose to.
Find a bag like most of the Givi models that have a semi rigid detatchable base and cut a hole in the base to fit around the filler neck area. Then place and secure a piece of padding onto the underside of the base to raise it slightly, but not too high that it tilts the magnetic flaps too much.
The idea here is to make the upper side of the base piece as close to the height of the filler caps top surface so the bag sits as if its on a flat surface.

i like it alan , i was thinking of doing something like that to a cheap bag.
i was going to cut the bag and glue a plastic box into the base of the bag to fit over the gas cap.
if i do it i will post some pics.
thanks mark
