Hi Tojjer,


I don't know whether you have sorted yourself out with a tank bag yet, but if you haven't, You might like to know that the Givi ST-602 is currently on offer at Nippy Normans. I've just bought and fitted one and am pleased with it so far. I'm 5'10' and the tank bag doesn't obscure the instrument panel in any way and it doesn't hit the kill switch on full lock either. I think I've attached a picture of mine but, as I'm a bit of technophobe, that might not have happened.


Good luck.

NN search feature leaves something to be desired so if anyone is interested then search for the part number which is GIV-ST602.


For the record it is the same price  on Sports bike shop

Great bag works well on the RT
Some have had a problem with the zip... Mine to now is fine but I put a little silicon grease on the zip, the zip on mine was a little stiff (Oh Err missus) ;)

I have Givi ST602. I particularly like the tank lock system, as it’s neat and tidy, easy to install and secure.
