Great help that thanks, the newer ones are slightly different in so far as you don’t have to do any drilling. Great tip on the screw lengths , I wouldn’t have picked up on that👍

Installed the same exact tank bag on my 2018 RT and 'It works a Treat'. Great installation video. The only two things I might add would be to state - 1) the drill bit to drill the holes in the bottom of the bag is supplied by the Manufacturer so no need to find / or buy a drill bit and 2) the tank bag does come with a rain cover provided so you can keep the bag contents dry. Like you, a prefer a minimalist look for my tank bag but additionally, everything I might need for immediate access fits perfectly in the space of this bag. 👍👍 Cheers. 🥂

I had them two things in the video but because people criticise me for taking to long I edited it out at the last minute. It's the one thing people hate me doing

Thanks for the video. I watched it because I was curious about your opinion on it. I have the same tank bag. It works nicely. The only disadvantage of bags like these, is that they are vulnerable to dust. After riding the Dempster hwy in the Yukon (700 km go gravel and back) we couldn't get it off anymore to fill the tank. We had to take the baseplate apart and clean it. Getting it back to getter was quite a bit of a hassle. So if you do off-road riding, these might not be the way to go.,

I have a Sport on the way to me for a bike which I'm yet to get a delivery date for which is a used H2 SX SE Perf. (though the Sport seems bigger than I anticipated having now seen a video of one actually on a bike - but I'm sure it'll be fine) & the method with the template here was explained very well; I saw another video which was quite wrong. Quite glad I watched this now. Thank you for the video 👍✌️

Hi Buddy, thanks for the video. I bought a larger size (Motech) bag and ring for my 2017 1200GSA. I now agree with you that a large tank bag is detrimental to the feel of a good ride - I just kept putting up with it as I had convinced myself I needed it. I haven't tried the little one you have, and on the type of trip you're doing next, it may be suitable. I just found that the plastic locking lugs on the bag kept breaking (admittedly I do a bit of off-road, but expected this to be of a quality to cope) and dust in the mechanism just rendered it unworkable. I had to cart it strapped to the back of my bike for the last 500kms of dirt road (Aussie outback) on my last trip, until I got to a town where I could post it home. I won't bother to use the bag again, and feel much freer without it - and funnily enough all my gear still fits in, despite its absence ! Have to be envious of your ability to flit across to other countries so easily - we have great riding here, but are very isolated. A cheap ride-on ferry to NZ, and one to Singapore, would be great !!!!!!

Thank you I find using this bag ideal for me so far. I like to stay a little private as in the past I have had messages from people saying they spotted me that day. It freaks me out a bit to be honest

Sorry, forgot to add too....warning to anyone using a larger tank bag. Make sure you have some protection for your tank - even with the ring, it will still rub. I had some heavy duty clear vinyl wrap added under the area of the bag, that worked ok.

Go for the Givi...no need to drill bags come in multiple sizes and less faffing! Just remember not to over tighten the 2 top most screws on the fuel cover otherwise it won't open... I should know!

The Givi tank rings are flimsy as shit... This is the reason I went with SW Motech on my bikes. I've had both and can tell you one wrong clipping or hitting the Givi ring sends it into pieces.

Hi Buddy Nice video I have just bought a r1250gs . Not yet on my hands. I am interested in a tank bag and, like you, I don't like big bags. So the questions are: all the things you put in the micro bag could it be on the pockets of your jacket? is the SW day bag too much and hang over the tank? can you put a small water bottle at your bag? have you any barback risers at your motorcycle? Can this be an issue to the position of the bags. Thanks for your answers

Its ver interesting proposal hence will be glued to you channel and see how you'll be doing, just one question though, how did you convince the missus going on this on trip?
