Shopping for the right tankbag. Anyone here using a mosko moto nomax? Curious what it looks like on the bike, does it mark the tank and suitability. Tks R1250RT 2021

Sometimes you can grab a genuine BMW at a bargain price. Well worth searching for

Places for eBay are your best bet. One comes up now and then in the sites selling section

If possible, it is good to check that the tankbag and bars don't make contact when on full lock. It's helpful whan parking and locking the bike.

It's how I ended up with a SW Motech City bag, despite hoping for something larger.

My original clip on tank bag from BMW even touches the switches on full lock

I use a combination of a bag that fits between the screen and dashboard for documents etc

and a small SW Motech micro bag (I like that it "hovers" above the paint on it's mount)

that I swap between my other bikes as needed. The main reason for the tank bag is to have a usb hub and the 12v side plugged into the bikes socket. This allows charging my powerbank (for topping the helmet up while having coffee etc), phone and GoPro battery hub,

and if needed I can plug my heated waistcoat into the 12v side in the tank bag too.

The small day bag is pretty full with that lot and cables
