Does anyone use a tank bag
Re: Does anyone use a tank bag
Hepco & Becker. 5 l , just big enough for passport, tickets and coins for tolls etc. Much easier than rummaging in pockets!

SW Motech Quicklock evo Daypack with the map pocket on top. Big enough for the camera, documents and a small bottle of water. I got the map pocket as I am slowly coming back round to using paper maps and notes for primary navigation.

SW Motech EVO Daypack with EVO tank Ring. I have a 2016 RT with Keyless option.
The tank lock Daypack is perfect, and just fits with no bar interference. It has exceptional fit and finish, is expandable, and has internal storage pockets on the sides and top. Love it.

Re: Does anyone use a tank bag
I use an RKA tank bag build for the GTL on my '16 1200RT. The bag for the RT looks funny when it on the bike. I refuse to pay $330.00+ for a crappy BMW bag. The map pouch turns brown very quickly

I bought the SW-Motech from Revzilla, and it works just fine with keyless.

Re: Does anyone use a tank bag
SW Motech makes a ring especially for the keyless BMW's -- it is ring #306-- just make sure which line you buy is correct (SW Motech makes 2 lines-- ION and EVO-- ION is the more cost effective, EVO is a little nicer with more features) -- ION bags need ION rings and EVO bags need EVO rings. You should also note that I tried both the ION and EVO rings on my tank-- and the ION rings interfere ever so slightly when the fuel cap is fully open. The EVO rings don't touch at all.Ventura wrote: Where did you get the bag Kiki ?? One Canadian site says that it is not compatible with Key-less....??

The EVO ring can supply power to the tank-bag with an optional kit, the ION ring cannot.kiki wrote: SW Motech makes a ring especially for the keyless BMW's -- it is ring #306-- just make sure which line you buy is correct (SW Motech makes 2 lines-- ION and EVO-- ION is the more cost effective, EVO is a little nicer with more features) -- ION bags need ION rings and EVO bags need EVO rings.

The EVO bag can be fitted with a locking pin that prevents the release latch from operating, thereby locking the bag to the bike. The zips can be locked together as well.
With most other bags (the BMW one for example), you have to rig something up yourself to prevent the bag or contents being removed
