accessories » SW Motech Trial Tank Bag

Just treated myself to one of these for our upcoming yearly Spanish trip, had a few BMW ones on previous bikes but always felt that the quality wasn’t good although they were expensive and I even had a buckle snapped in Italy that messed me about because I couldn’t use the bag on the tank and had to strap it to the top box to get home
Anybody had any experience of this tank bag?5CDE75B5-AB5A-4021-AC12-062FD2D65573.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Thanks Wessie that’s great
Must admit that this is the first time that I am trying the mounting ring type of bag and looking forward to it as I always felt tank bags with straps always tend to move about a bit
I only want it for items that I want to keep out of the hard luggage like for example, GoPro, chargers, sunglasses,maps, tool kit, baseball hat etc etc

yes have the large one and also a smaller one for day trips out, had them on various bikes and always been happy. make sure you click them on properly, once ddint get one end on properly thankfully saw it wobble before I went too far.

only downside is that for the price I think they should be waterproof and not need the waterproof cover

I have a Givi XS308 Tanklock bag (I think it is medium in terms of size) and rate it.

I’d recommend it - plenty of room, map pocket on top, hole for charging cable, waterproof cover (normally stays dry without, but thoroughly tested on a full day of torrential rain in the Scottish highlands). Tank lock ring is handy and makes for easy re-fueling.

I use it to store camera, spare gloves, wallet, phone, first aid kit, snickers, tools etc. Stuff that I need easy access to.

Have found that the plastic covers on the zip tangs can come off but easily replaced with the ring from a key ring.

We have three of the small SW Motech tank bags and have been happy with them.

The bag you pictured looks like the City Bag.

I've got a SW Motech Engage bag. Love it.

I have the same SW Motech city bag and I like it a lot, bought a cable and lock for it so it can’t be opened if I make a stop for coffee etc. last year I bought the map case to go on top , it takes away the looks a bit as it is larger but that necessary to house a map. It was a good move for me as I get frustrated with the Nav V. Back to the bag, I manage to stuff the rain cover in one of the outer side pockets ( just) which is handy and keep a helmet lock in the other side.
Take care when drilling the base to get the holes where you need them.

Just installed my first tank lock sw motech tank bag last month also. Took it on a few quick trips and really like how easy it is to get on and off, while holding all the things I want it to.

I've got the City bag, it's a nice bit of kit and fits the shape of the RS tank well. Never bothered with the rain hood, the screen seems to keep most of the rain off it.
