#1 | Baglux tank cover with Givi tanklock ring datum

Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:33 am

I have a Baglux tank cover fitted to my 1200RS, to protect the tank rather than carry a tank bag. I find the bag to be too big and gets in the way.
I see a lot of people using the Givi tanklock ring system now, and one of those smaller bags would be ideal.
Does anyone know if there is any issue with fitting the Givi tanklock ring with a Baglux tank cover in place?

Thanks

are the bolts holding in the fuel filler visible? The tanklock ring is fitted by removing 4 of the bolts and using the new, longer ones supplied by Givi?

If the bolts are visible then you can fit the tanklock, if not visible then you might need to cut holes in the cover ir trim it to make the filler hole larger.

Thanks for that. It'll be snug but I'm pretty sure I can make it work in that case.

don't over tighten the bolts - the threads are brass inserts into plastic so just nip them up with minimal torque.
