Tank lock tank bag

[Rockape]

I'm looking for preferably a tank lock tank bag for my 2011 1200rt. Not to keen on the BMW bag. Any suggestions please.

The SW Motech bags and mounts are good, good looking, well made and not hard to fit.
I suspect the Givi system is good too.

+ 1 for SW Motech bags. I've got the City. It's just the right size for me. Occasionally will blow the horn at full left lock but not often. I have 2016 RT.

I've got the 4L and 25L Givis.  Very well made and simple to install.  The 4L is big enough for a day ride (maybe 2) holding glasses, garage door opener, etc.  It has a slot for your cell phone, but I don't use that and keep the cover on it most of the time.  The 25L is HUGE, and it expands.  It has a map pocket and a removable tablet pocket (2nd map pocket).  Comes with an inner sealable bag and a rain cover, and two side pockets (small). 


If you go the Givi route, each bag comes with a tank mount; all you need to order is the appropriate half-moon plate to lock the mount to the tank.  HTH

I have a Givi that I swap between my two bikes. I will never have a tank bag that is not a ring lock again. Don't be tempted to get one too large. Those tend to get in the way when turning bars lock to lock. They are hard to carry into a restaurant if you keep your wallet, phone, maps, etc in them. Even the smaller ones hold a lot of stuff!

As with the last two posts I'm currently with Givi and have the smaller ST602 Sport Touring Tanklock bag, great for carrying phone/wallet/visor stuff and a few other small bits & pieces.  Unlikely to buy another bike without fitting a tank lock ring to it!  Peter

I was going to get a Givi for my 17 plate but when I called in to the J&S store to buy the bag, they stated they didn't have a locking ring for my bike. They were also reluctant to fit one on my bike with having the key-less fuel cap.
Found a 12 month old BMW bag and fitting straps for £85 on ebay which will do for the time being.

At motorcycle live yesterday and noticed on  givi stand  tanklock bag with a lock built in asked and was informed will be out in UK April/May next year. (certain bags only).

Michael,


Both bags fit just fine on my 2017 RT with key less and central locking. 


Happy Thanksgiving all-you-all!
