Pat Buzzard Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Has anyone tried this bag with an R1100\1200? Does it fit well? Will magnetic bags stick to our tupperware covered tank? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/71/2521/CITEM/Fieldsheer-Contour-Tank-Bag-Closeouts.aspx Link to comment
AndyS Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Will magnetic bags stick to our tupperware covered tank? What!!!!!!! Is it April the 1st already. Andy Link to comment
philbytx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ahh! It prolly has VERY strong magnets to attach to the tupperware screws Link to comment
Dave Parry Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 strong magnets to attach to the tupperware screws ------------------- Which are stainless! Link to comment
Pat Buzzard Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 funny haha. this is what happens when I post while exhausted. I'm guessing that the magnets however powerful are not powerful enough to adhere to the metal beneath the plastic. Link to comment
dan cata Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 There's no metal tank on R1100RT AFAIK. Link to comment
AndyS Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 .... I'm guessing that the magnets however powerful are not powerful enough to adhere to the metal beneath the plastic. We are not trying to belittle anyone here. Beneath the tupperware is a huge plastic petrol tank. Andy Link to comment
Pat Buzzard Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 [quote=Pat Buzzard Beneath the tupperware is a huge plastic petrol tank. Andy AH HA!! That is the missing piece I was looking for. I just got my bike a little over a month ago and haven't taken off the plastic yet. The tank looked metal in the pictures. Thanks for the info. I am new to BMWs but eventually I will know enough so as to not make an @$$ of myself! Thanks, Link to comment
Dave Parry Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 No problem Pat, we're only having a joke with you! I didn't know my RT 1100 had a plastic tank either until I took a side panel off for some reason or another, Merry Xmas Dave. Link to comment
kmac Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Pat, I asked the SAME question a few months ago...I assumed it was metal somewhere... What kind of buddies would we all be if we didn't harass each other.. Link to comment
Jeepster Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have heard of people using magnetic tank bags on an RT by gluing magnets on the inside of the Tupperware. If you do go this route, double/triple check polarity of the magnets. Seems to be a lot of hassle when there are other very good options out there. Link to comment
philbytx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ah Yes! But the inserts in the tank aren't Seriously tho (honest! LOL), check out the Big Mak line of tank bags. Very good quality and a nice easy peasy flip up to get at your "petrol" tank Link to comment
tallman Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Big Mak fan for years. Nothing else comes close. Link to comment
