Grassman Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have the BMW tank bag and it is on its last legs. I have found three options. 1. Chicane Canyon tank bag 2. Touratech 055-1154 3. BMW tank bag. What do you think is the best tank bag and why? Also is the Chicane and the Touratech bags easy to get on and off the bike. I have been very happy with the BMW tank bag because of the mounting system. But the other bags look more functional. Thanks Link to comment
GregB Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Since you have a worn out BMW bag with the trick mounting, how about permanently mounting the tank bag of your choice to the BMW mount. I seriously considered doing that to my almost-new bag since I would really like a very small bag with the BMW mount. Link to comment
Sailorlite Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Did the "on its last legs" BMW tank bag start its life on your 12RT, or instead on an earlier bike? Does it have the combo velcro/zipper mounting piece glued to the tank? Link to comment
Grassman Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yes the bag started you on the 05RT. And no it does not have the Velcro zipper Link to comment
Sailorlite Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 You've probably already seen the suggestion around here that if you purchased the tank bag together with the bike itself then it should still be covered by the BMW 3-yr. warranty. Link to comment
sb955i Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Marsee 19l Pocket Rocket. Upside: well made, streamlined, expandable, doesn't interfere with turn signals. Downside: strap mounted, map window is finicky with those dumb ziplock thingys. Way cheaper than BMW/Gucci. I electrified mine with the powerlet kit, handy for gadgets. Link to comment
MarkEngland Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I love my BigMak tang bag. No straps or material touching the tank. I have both the small one and large one. Filling with gas easy is the best part. Link to comment
