TANK BAG R1150R

Post by Niall M »

:D
I fitted a "TRIP" model tank bag from Bag Connections .
They are available in different sizes , and with a unique mounting system .
I have covered 500mls so far with no issue .It does not make any contact with the tank , and is very secure at speed.

See

I will add pics of mine , very soon.

One other small piece of advice...I've used a variety of tankbags on a variety of bikes...I really like the magnetic Eclipse I have now, but have learned to keep it stored carefully when it's off the bike. Minute particles attracted by the magnets definitely did some paint damage on one of my Ducatis a few years ago. So, I keep mine in a clean cardboard box in a hall closet in between trips.

Now, get that tankbag, load it up, and HEAD out on a nice long ride. 8)
