Good day from Northern Ontario Canada, I love SW Motech and have skid plate and crash bars but one of my riding partners had a tank bag and had the same trouble with latch. Showed him your video and he was very excited. Here in Canada we don't have the new line of bags yet but when Fortnine gets some in we both are ordering a bag and ring each. Best thing SW did by having you show us how they changed the bag. Cheers!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hey! That's great to hear that it helped you guys, and hope they get some stock in soon for you. You won't be disappointed👍😜

[@j.t.8759]

Great video, very well done. I've been using the SW-MOTECH EVO tank bags for years and love 'em. I do indeed double/triple check that the tank bag is indeed properly attached each time after fueling up, as I've read nightmare stories about the tank bag coming off when not properly attached. The new SW-MOTECH PRO tank bags looks like a MUCH better mousetrap. No more drilling holes in the bottom of the tank bag to perfectly place the tank bag on a particular bike. Even the adjustable tank release strap is a big improvement, not to mention the much easier to use magnetic tank ring. These new tank bags are going to cost me a lot of money! :) :) :)

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They're definitely worth the spend👍😜

Just had mine few days ago as SW Motech had €30.00 discount and my tank ring was more expensive due to my screwless fuel cap on my Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory V4. Outstanding quality of service from SW Motech package included a free mug ang key ring.. Tank bag is fantastic quality and the new mounting system is brilliant.. Got the bag mounted right forward on the ratchet and still very stable... looking to get the Molle map and phone holder next..

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Mega! Yeah I saw their offer of the free tank ring with every purchase, fantastic! Map case is a must for me, although I use a Sat nav I like to use it together with a map, as Sat nav doesn't always plot the best route.

Nuther top vid. Got a givi version. Fits trainers, tshirt, boxers and a few bits for the shower. Good for the ferry to and from Spain, saves lugging a pannier or top box to your cabin. Good for tolls too, keep cash or card handy. Mine has fitted both my gs's, xr and rt!

Never had a Givi myself, was put off a tad with the large tank adaptor, looks a bit naff if you don't use the tank bag

[@petehudson3080]

Nice informative vid thankyou. So impressed I've just bought the very thing. Again, was looking at the 'outgoing' model until i came across your lowdown on the new bag so perfect timing. I have a 1250 GS and love the look of the GS specific bag but way too big for regular day trips I feel. Great for touring but I just want something handy and inobtrusive to stash the cash and essentials. I do hope it doesn't look a pigs ear on the tank as some do. Oh well at least I'll have the tank ring ready if i move up to the GS bag later.....

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi Thanks for your comment, glad the video helped you. Which bag did you order? The Micro or Daypack would be a best fit for the GS.

[@petehudson3080]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Hi mate, went with the Daypack just really because its extra capacity will be useful. I don't need the kitchen sink in there but access to lifes small essentials are better off in a small bag in front of me I reckon. I ride a lot at the moment without pillion and the hard luggage stays off for a while. The only non Touratech piece of kit but the quality looks good and most reviews are appealing. Not having to drill holes looks to be the real Brucey!

We have 3 of the older style SW Motech tank bags which we love. Personally don't have to much of an issue with the way it fastens to the tank. Thing I hate the most is the waterproof cover, was hoping the new bag would be waterproof without the cover.

I only use the rain cover in long downpours, they have a good level of water resistance without it

It does not if attach it in a sensiible way. Look what you’re doing and press it on. Tough I’ve had my quicklock evo system for years and at a given moment you’re able to do it blindfolded..

Hi, it is designed to slightly hover over the tank, so it does not touch your paint and will not scratch it :) The only contact point it the tank ring itself

Hi It is expendable but might be a squeeze! Would definitely go in if you could be bothered to take the lens off everytime.

[@minilockwood24]

I like that style of adjustment! Way better than drilling. Also that the whole top zips open instead of having an inch on each side so you have to force bigger items in. I know the new ring is a magnetic style, but will the old rings still work with the new attachment?

Hi Had a few asking about that, but I've been advised by SwMotech, that will not work.

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

I saw there are two pro daypacks one 1 litre bigger and says its magnetic. Is this without attaching with the fuel cap ring? What do you think about this one, do you have a video with this model / recommend it?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes the magnetic one is an option for those who don't have a filler cap on the tank. I haven't had one to test personally but I've seen it in use on a friends bike That being said, if you do have a filler cap then the magnets wouldn't work to their full potential, so I'd advise you to secure it to your filler cap.

[@scottc3]

Like the new design of the bag and the fitting mechanism. Are they waterproof so you can do away with those useless rain covers?

I’ve used the same older model SW tank bag for years on three bikes over 200 000 kilometers in both freezing and blistering hot weather through jungles, across deserts and along highways. Never one fail. Because it’s hard for me to believe a product could be much better, my only question is how water resistant is the new model?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Not had it out in the rain as yet, but I found the previous bags had a good level of water resistance without the rain cover.

[@UncleWally3]

TheLikeableRider. That’s been my experience too, but if I were to dig up a complaint it would be that it requires a rain cover. When this new model was unpacked did it have a rain cover, or is it marketed as sufficiently water resistant without a cover?

[@Ls_ravi]

Very useful video. A quick question - can this bag be fitted the other way round as well? Or is it meant to only be mounted in the direction in the video?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'd say not possible. In theory you could mount the baseplate on backwards, but then you'll have issues with the release cord.

[@Ls_ravi]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Got it... going to try to play around with the one I have and revert. I've been struggling to access the release on my Tiger 800 since the risers bring the bar closer to the bag. Will also try adjusting the base plate forward/back like you did. I actually didn't do that fine-tuning before starting to use this. Will revert. Cheers

[@Ls_ravi]

So flipped the baseplate the other way. It fits either way on the Tiger 800. Flipped the mounting plate (bottom of tank bag) as well. So the bag continues to be mounted the correct way (opening towards the rider) and the release now operates in the direction of the seat, which is what I wanted. Only sub-optimal outcome is that the red tape now enters the bag at the seat end and then travels thru the entire inside of the bag and then gets to the clip on the other end of the inside.

[@chello885]

The way you now attach the base plate without drilling is a huge step. The drilling always put me off previously. Do you know if this system will also move to the evo range? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the range.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

No it's a different system to the Evo range and also not compatible with each other. The new Pro range is the way to go in my opinion!

TheLikeableRider Thanks, I think you’re right 👍

[@chello885]

TheLikeableRider Do you happen to know when the other sizes in the range will become available as this daypack is the only size on their website to buy?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They told me all being well sometime in June, latest July👍

[@DaviBurns]

Will there be an electric version of the new pro tank bags in the future? I use the electric version of the Evo Daypack at the moment, but I really like the look of the new mounting system instead of drilling holes and the magnets are a great idea.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Great question! I'll fine out for you

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Sorry no plans to develop the electric versions into the Pro range.

[@DaviBurns]

Thats a shame, thanks for your speedy reply though, appreciated. Look forward to watching your review of the full range.

[@onetallrider7192]

I love the GIVI lock system better, but the bag from SW is much better. What to do? :)

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Fizz the Givi on Ebay😂

[@Jbarth13]

Where does the raincover go? Do you just put the soaking wet raincover back in the general pocket, or does it have it's own special pocket?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It doesn't have its own pocket, but you can shake it out and stow it where you like.

[@natej7402]

Hey mate, any way of getting a strap to the daypack so it can be slung over a shoulder?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Not that o know of Nate, would be great to have one as the the Previous Evo range had them, if I'm not mistaken!

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

Hello Nate. Yes, a shoulder strap is listed on the SW Motech website.

[@simonrobinson7536]

The new ones look like an improvement in design and function. Don’t think I can justify upgrading from the older ones though at the moment. Just watched the Brew time video you did so funny. A question for you , am thinking of purchasing the orange brake and clutch covers, do you find they reflect a lot in sunny weather and distract the eye. Top videos 👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Glad you liked the podcast! No with the levers I don't have an issue

[@simonrobinson7536]

Sorry Shaun I mean the brake/clutch reservoir covers

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Lol no they don't either😜

[@simonrobinson7536]

Thank you 👍

[@dalehawkes1698]

Just thought does the magnets effect the contents such as coins ect through the bottom ??👍👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

No the strength of the magnets is only enough to glide the bag into position, you won't notice your contents sticking to the bottom. Thanks for your comments

[@NLK_Racing]

Dale Hawkes just Got my new pro tankbag today, and there is no problem with metal sticking to the bottom. But be aware that instructions do say to store sensitive items such as your phone, Wallet and credit cards in the top mesh pocket. 😉👍🏻

[@dalehawkes1698]

Mine has been on back order for weeks it’s arrived today so fitting tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉🤣

[@DrPritishaSaxena]

Mine got stuck, the red string came out, what to do 😢

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yeah that's a tricky one! I had a similar problem as I attached the tankbag to the bike without even connecting the string🤦‍♂️I was able to reconnect the string while it was still on the bike, it's a bit of a fiddle but it's doable.

[@SergioGalmeyerResende]

Hi. Do you think a DSLR will fit with a GoPro+ acessories, or it will be small? Thank you.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Might be a bit of a squeeze, possibly if you remove the lens.

[@SergioGalmeyerResende]

@@thelikeablerider8800 thank you, I thought so, bust just to check...is always that compromise of travalling light but taking you electronic equipment with you ;-) Cheers.

[@peeweeabanco7241]

will it fit a husqvarna svratpilen 200?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I couldn't say, you'll need to look on their website!

[@alainbrouillette7740]

Are they planning to sell an electric version as the previous generation ?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Unfortunately not! I've been told by SWMOTECH that there are no plans to produce the electric version.

[@hassanalbaijan7434]

I just bought my old model 2 weeks ago😫

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Oh bugger! 😂🤦‍♂️

[@chuongtrung]

Hi, not sure if this bag would fit on a Honda monkey z125? Contacted sw motech and they can't provide answer!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I couldn't tell you if it would as I don't have the bike to see for myself. I'd imagine the Pro Micro would fit fine.

[@chuongtrung]

@@thelikeablerider8800 thanks. Pro micro listed for the bike.

[@heykat18]

Wish they had an electric version

[@hamsterclamper]

Could you please confirm the colour of the highlights on these bags? On the SWM website, they look red, but on this video they appear more orange, matching your KTM. Thanks :)

[@thelikeablerider8800]

No they're definitely red👍

[@hamsterclamper]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Thank you :)

[@bobbysnuffer6987]

Did SW Motech update the design to all of their bags?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Just the new Pro Tank bags at the moment, but you can be sure that this new design will flow down to all their other soft luggage.

[@anshuman22192]

Hey, which phone mount is that?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It's from ultimateaddons

[@rickp9946]

Shame they don't lock as standard really. Means you have to carry it with you everywhere when often you'd rather leave it on the bike. I have the old one and there's a rather naff locking add-on extra for it - what's the locking solution for these new ones?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I never leave anything of value in it tbh, unless on tour but then I never let it out of sight, or just use a small padlock

[@rickp9946]

TheLikeableRider me neither - just worry that some toe-rag might nick the bag itself... !

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They'd would have to know how to get it off, isn't always obvious! We're lucky here in Germany that theft isn't really a big issue, I can quite happily leave a lot of stuff on the bike when stopping off.

[@Kradmelder24]

Gibt es die Micro auch mit diesem Magnetring?

Auf jedenfall😜 hoffe dir geht's gut?

[@Kradmelder24]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Ja mit geht es bestens , hoffe Dir auch? :) Ich habe einen Quick-Lock EVO Micro, und der nervt beim Draufsetzen manchmal etwas. Wenn ich jetzt den Micro Pro Magnet nehme, brauche ich dann auch zusätzlich einen neuen Tankring?
