Zitat von JAG im Beitrag #7 Here's a picture of JAG's tankbag. I like how it fits the shape of the tank. Small GS Tankbag.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von jb62 im Beitrag #18 I also use the SW Motech Citybag, it fits perfectly to the RS tank, nice ( and expanding) capacity, well made with external and internal pockets and a semi-rigid construction so you don’t need to fill it to maintain its shape - and it only needs its rain cover in particularly heavy rain. You have to buy a separate map pocket that fixes on top of the bag, that's the only downside in my view. |

I also am a user of a SW Motech bag, in my case the Evo Engage tank bag (7 liter). To get it water resistant I sprayed the bag with Grangers XT proofer for soft and hard shell fabrics (you can use a similar product from Nikwax or a another brand). So I hardly have to use the raincover, only in heavy rain. |

I use the Held Piatta bag. It "molds" to the shape of the tank very well. Details here : https://www.mototechniks.com/product/hel...ank-bag-velcro/ |

Question for the SW-Motech City bag users. How is visibility to the GPS with the bag on? I ask for when the GPS is in the BWX supplied mount.

Zitat von Robert the Brews im Beitrag #20 Another very happy Engage user here. I don't bother trying to weatherproof, I just pop the cover on. |

Zitat von Hydrashok158 im Beitrag #23 With the Engage bag and stock mount the view of the GPS is not blocked. When I added the optional map case I raised my GPS by 1.5 inches to make sure I could see the bottom of the screen. Taller bags like the City may block some of the GPS.

Zitat von Hydrashok158 im Beitrag #23 I have moved my Nav 5 up above the clocks behind the screen for a better / safer viewing position, but it was never an issue for me to see the Nav 5 in the original BMW factory position with the SW Motech City bag fitted - even when expanded to the taller setting. |

I have toured for 2 weeks with that set-up and there were no issues related to the bags position or height. |
