Touratech

 

Good morning. I'm in the market for a tank bag now with the acquisition on the new AT. I always had one on my BMW bikes. Seems the AT tank isn't as conducive
to the older more old school bags. I'm finding a lot of Givi tank lock bags. Had one once. No joy.
Any suggestions for a 15-20 liter bag that fits properly?

If you find one post a photo please. I can't really picture that big a bag working on the AT tank but if you find one I'd be interested.

 

So far I'm seeing Touratech and Mosko Moto bags which may fit the bill. Both are more than a tad spendy and the Touratech is out of stock.🤷‍♂️

 

Tried them both on my bike and decided to stay with SWM PRO City, though I still regtet sending Nomax back a bit.

Here are some pics to have a direct comparison of size and shape:

 

Found an 8 liter bag that I think is going to work out well. Giant Loop Fandango.
Good reviews, decent price. Guy who makes them rides an AT...looks to fit pretty well

 

I recently got a OGIO tank bag with the quick release system which works much easier than the SW Motech system which was a PITA.

 

Ive got the SW Motech tank lock bag pro city fits well 11-14 liters

PRO City Tank Bag 11-14 litre

PRO City tank bag The PRO City was developed for adventure bikes and other motorcycles with steeply sloped fuel tanks. Although the tank bag offers storage up to 14 liters, the narrow shape won't interfere with your bars, even when the bag is fully packed. Two outer pockets provide additional...

I am currently also using the SWM PRO City, here is a nice video showing some details:

I have tried several different tank bags including multiple models from SW Motech, Touratech and Mosko Moto Nomax, but haven't yet found the one that does not interfere with the "skip track" buttons at full lock. This is slightly annoying, but I've learned to live with it...

 

I have a Nelson-Rigg 1045. Fits very nicely. Is far enough forward to accomodate decent standing up rinding.

Going to give a Giant Loop Fandango a shot. Looks good so far.

 

@t00thl355 sorry not had a chance to get around to the pictures this weekend will grab some asap for you. Would ask the wife while I’m away but would probably end up with photos of the top box 😂

 

Thanks a lot, but you can save your wife the effort, I already decided to give it a go and boght the spacers. I took some pictures with different heights, in case someone else is curious too. I am now working on a solution, how to glose the gap between the bag and the tank. For the moment I hanged a small Molle bag (where I can store the rain cover), but am also looking into sewing one myself that would esthetically please the eye better.

Here are the pics:

 

Any SW Motech model will touch the button, they justify it by saying that you will not be able to have 100% rotation and they remain so calm. I also thought about raising the tanklock and spoke to swmotech since they have the accessory, not compatible of course. Now that I see it, it doesn't convince me. So I will continue as it is now.

 

If you look closely at the pictures, you will notice that only with the 18mm spacer, the button is not pressed, although it is still very lightly touched. It is also fair to say, that I pulled the steering bar as far as it would go to lock it in place and it would also spring back a couple of millimeters, since the locking mechanism als has a bit of play. And I am preety sure that it is not an issue while riding, but it is almost sure that it will touch the button when you finish the ride and skip to the next song, podcast or whatever you are listening. Not a big deal, but annoying.

When I asked SW Motech which bag is suitable for CRF1100 - they said - "None, really." and suggested that the PRO Micro would be the least evil choice. Micro will not touch the buttons, but due to its wider front will be also squeezed by the bar when parking. Like this:
