I recently bought this combo at Cycle Gear, so far I am happy with it.. the appearance and quality seem to be pretty good. I am planning an 8 day trip starting next week so I will be thoroughly familiar with all its niggles after that! Film at !! ! |

You can certainly buy the fitting kits for the lower parts that attach to the bike. With the Givi/Kappa bags, the upper mating half is always shipped with the bags. Not sure you can buy it separately. They can be removed from the bag as the one on my Kappa bag has 4 screws and can be located in one of 4 predrilled positions to customise to a bike. Perhaps you need to find someone with a donor bag that is no longer serviceable, with a wonky zip or leaky.

OP - I'm not sure what you're after: are you saying you have an existing BMW OEM tankbag? Which already attaches to your tank? And that you want some sort of security lock for this to prevent it being nicked? KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |

I’ve never been a tank bag fan.

Zitat von Rutland Rider im Beitrag #1 I have a Givi 4L tank lock bag and it works well. Refueling is easy, just pop it off and put it on the seat. I also have panniers but for shorter rides, I don't mount them. I have to take them off anyway due to where the bike sits in my garage.

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #5 they are all non-problems for me benefits of a tankbag outweigh any perceived difficulties. The main one being able to perform a number of functions without getting off the saddle, such as take a drink, grab your charging phone to take a photo, grab a spray and cloth to remove a bug splat and have a multi-charging point for devices so essential for modern life. My tankbag also serves as a rucksack if I go walkabout, carrying water, lunch etc.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #7Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #5 Like you, I run tank bags on my motors. They hold sundry items like phone, micro fibers, on the keyless ride the fob, floss sticks, chapstick, wallet, reg and ins. papers etc. I go anywhere leaving the bike the tank bag comes with me like a man purse of sorts carried easily around exploring areas of interest. My bag on the RS doesn't obscure the gps in it's original mount, certainly no obstruction of the gauges on the RT gps which is up on the dash. |

Zitat von Rutland Rider im Beitrag #1 You'll probably need to look for the older EVO mount. On the current Pro mount, the part that comes with the bag is already mounted to the bag. Not sure if you can buy that piece separately. I don't think it would be difficult to attach a EVO mount to the bottom of your BMW bag. Here's what the EVO mounts look like.

I know of no lock that will do the job. It’s like those loops on new luggage for TSA-approved locks. Anyone wanting in can easily break such a small lock. Only real security is to take the tank bag with you…or shove it into your top case which likely has better locking systems to deter theft.

I think the SW Motech mount as Lee shows will work, I have the same set-up and I agree it’s the older style EVO mount you should look for. There is also an optional,locking pin to act as a deterrent from easily removal of the tankbag. However as Lee’s photo’s show on the underside of a Motech tankbag there is a recess, if you mount the kit to a flat bottomed BMW bag ( my assumption) I think it will sit 10-15mm high above the tank. Still it may be worth a try and you can probably find the locking ring and mount on eBay. |

I made my own using SW Motech hardware. I sandwich a sheet of plexiglass with the SW Motech tank ring and base mount, then I used heavy duty velcro on the plexiglass and the bottom of my RKA tank bag. I glued a shirt (piece of material) around the plexiglass to fill in the gap between the tank bag and the gas tank.PXL_20220812_212815207.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)PXL_20220812_212704114.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)PXL_20220812_212948939.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)PXL_20220812_213016192.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)PXL_20220812_213026573.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
