Looking for THE K11LT Tank Bag
« on: June 10, 2014, 07:11:35 AM »
I have hard bags but am looking for a tank bag solution. I'll just be getting one. What make, model, and what features do you find indispensable? Built in chargers? Transparent/clear map/phone/GPS? Any successes and failures in the process? Personal regrets? I am told that once you tank bag it you'll never go back. Thanks in advance.

i would go with the oem multivario... you can look around and score one with the base... bottom section... middle section... top section with clear map window... rain cover... then if you wanna charge stuff you can electrify it or just run a cable through the zipper opening...

I've just got an almost new genuine BMW one, complete with the 2 clips that bolt to the underside of the tank, unused rain cover, really looks new...paid £41 for it  :clap:
Its very well made, as you'd expect, not got a clue they cost from BMW but I'm really happy with what I've paid!

Thats the exact one I've just bought!  :clap:

Motoworks is about 16 miles from me, straight over the Yorkshire Moors, very handy!

this is a motobins sourced tank bag i scored in 2012... i was tiored by f-ing with whack used bags... about one minute after fondling a new multivario you will be kicking yourself in the head for fussing with used ones...

Thats the one, I just bolted the mounting brackets to the side panel mounts, took 10 minutes!
The middle section is a bit odd, it doesn't zip up compressed, you need to stuff it full to keep the stack upright  :yow
You can of course leave it out and just zip it in when needed....
If you find one of these at the right price...grab it! Perfect piece of kit, you'd think it was made for the bike.... :riding:

Vario but be forewarned that in the summer phones and GPS don't like it. My iPhone will overheat and shut down if I try to stick it in the map pocket and charge. It also starts to fog and get condensation.  Just bad place for electronics.

The bag is cheap enough, but the 2 clips that you need to fix it on, are listed separately and are $20  :hehehe

The brand new bag should come with the clips. Mine did.

The point is....the guy is selling the fixings on there own for $20, bit of a bad trick! If the geezer who wins the tank bag doesn't realise he needs them, he's 'stuck'...  :nono
