Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted July 15, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted July 15, 2013 my existing magnetic tank bag used to scratch my tank. Figured out a way to keep this in position. These guys bykebitz.co.uk sell the GIVI adapter separately. Paid about 60GBP abt 90 USD + shipping (could have got a new tank bag). the kit came with the tank ring, bag adapter and the necessary fitting screws. Positioning the adapter is critical - so it does not interferer with the handle bar movement and sitting. Tried to keep it centered on the bag. Chopped the tank bag magnetic ears ! The bag has a soft base, so it needed to be reinforced. Used a fiber (from a local bag repair shop). Made necessary holes on the bag. They had supplied a drill bit - since the bag is soft, used a punch. now to put it all together The bag now site about half an inch about the tank. Pretty secured. The fiber supports the base preventing it from sagging. need to be tested on load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted July 17, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted July 17, 2013 This is the new SW-Motech one? I have the old style SW-Motech tank ring and mount. It is very useful for mounting a tank bag, but the reason I use it is so that I can use the same bag on many different bikes: The same tank ring fits most Hondas, and I've (temporarily) fitted it to two rented bikes as well as my own bikes. Other brands require different tank rings, but can use the same bag mount--that's versatile! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao, yeah something similar - but i just got the ring kit instead of the entire bag etc as i already had a tank bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
