Does anyone here use Baglux

[bikesnbones]

Looking at tank bags options, in particular, Baglux harness system.
They only list it for the LT, and looking at the set up, the bag does seem to sit quite a way back on the harness,, and I'm wondering if that's why they don't list it for the RS.
Because maybe the bag would put too much pressure on the gut in the more leaned forward position.
Just wondering if anyone does use it on the RS, and can confirm either way,

OK have a look at the Baglux for the VFR, in particular, the location of the rear mounting clips.

Now compare that to the harness for the KLT,

The mounting clips seem to be sited way further back, indicating to me that the bag is going to be pushing quite hard against the riders stomach.
They do not list the set up for the RS, an I just wonder if this is why.
I just want to findout before spending money un necessarily,
Planning a touring trip to Italy this year, and I know from experience how irritating a badly sited tank bag can be,

mine was listed for lt only... it fit the rs fine...

back of the bag was always against my belly... the metal clips that hold the back of the bag broke and i had to rivet them to the cover... the plastic clips that hold the front of the bag also broke requiring them to be riveted to the bag... one of the plastic buckles by the knee pad broke and i had to f with that also... 

i ended up replacing the clips with velcro because they were just too weak to do the job... then i gave away the whole shebang cause after all that i just had to jettison the piece of chit...

these things really keep the heat in the tank making the fuel hotter than it should be... and will cause whack to the finish of the tank from road grime...

other than that it was good to go...

Hmmm.
Interesting.
Incidentally, WTF is the tank on the RS made of.
I went to a shop today to look at a magnetic tank bag, but it wouldn't stick to the tank.
We tried it on another metal tank bike, and it was fine.
Complete mystery, as the K tank is obviously metal
