Tiger 800 Tank bag for tiger 800 xrx

im looking at getting a tank bag and would welcome any advice please, I have previously only used a magnetic bag but am interested in people's experience of the tanklock type of bag or any other type but it needs to have a clear top so that I can see a map (old school) thanks.

 

I've been a fan of SW Motech Bags Connection tank bags for a good few years now. When my new Tiger arrives next month I'll be fitting the necessary 'tank ring' to it so I can use the different sized bags I've bought over the years. I have the clear map pocket too which clips to the bag quite neatly. So easy to use I wouldn't be without them now.

Givi tanklock bags are also very popular but I've never tried them.

Quick photo for you of one of my bags fitted to my Suzuki

 

Cheers Reggie I'll have a look at them thanks ....I do like the look of the givi as well

 

I've used a Givi tanklock for a couple of years now.
Very useful bit of kit.It's never moved even at "motorway" speeds and easy to get on and off.
I've just bought a new tank ring so I can use it on the GS.

 

Thanks roadrider do the bags stay raised away from the paintwork with this type of bag ?

 

Yes it does mate.
You can see it better from this angle.It also had different mounting positions underneath so the bag can be moved further forwards or back.

 

Thanks a lot for that cheers

 

I know it's a while ago now but I did eventually go for the sw motech and I think it's great so thanks for the heads up
