SW Motech PRO City Tank Bag fitted .. key accessed | First Mods Series | Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro

Was installing today on my bag, and sw-motech website was blocking me with "access denied", so couldn't download instructions (they include only 2d barcode, not printed ones). So, this was very useful. Though, I went with day pack, I wanted to start with a smaller one, and the key possible to take out only if I push the bag with other hand to bend it tiny but (or if I mount the end of bag to the front side). It lacks like 3-5mm of clearance. So, I'm ordering a "Heightening for PRO tank ring". There are options of 6mm, 12mm, and 18mm. I think with 6 or 12mm I will be able to take out key easily. Thanks for your videos! Will be also rewatching the barkbusters fitting, as I have mines to fit.

Great video. Do you have to 'lock' the tank in place, or can you slide it forward when riding, then slide it back to remove the key? Thanks.

@@danadams8278 thanks. No, it is in the rearmost position and fixed in that location so that the key is as easily accessed as possible. There is no need to slide it forward while riding.

Hi! could you elaborate why it was not possible to push day-pack backwards until key was accessible? Seems that city bag has smaller rails underneath it, thus should have even less possibility to move it backwards

[@GrumpyGoat]

When the Daypack is pushed as far back as it would go, the thickness of the front of the Daypack is such that it extends too far forward over the key. The City Pro bag is pushed as far back as it would go, the front of the City Pro bag extends forward less than the Daypack, so the key is accessible. In other words the Daypack is thicker in front of the forward-most position of the carriage.

@@GrumpyGoat I see! thank you for the explanation. I'm looking for a tank bag, but city pro looks a bit too big for what I want. Can you see screen fine? And can you stand without it interfering? I wonder if maybe the Micro would work for me. But probably would have the same issue as daypack. I tried to find videos, pictures of tiger 900 with sw-motech bags, but couldn't. Well except a few like yours.
