    I have this on @tojjer, attached by the tank ring. It snaps on easily and is very secure once on. Perfect size for phone, gloves, water bottle, satnav, etc. It has a pocket in the lid in which spare earplugs, cash, buff, paracetamol live.


    Givi ST602B Sport-T Tanklock Tank Bag - 4L from the UK's leading online...

     

    I looked at those but I've seen a few videos and read a few articles that say the plastic wears and the bag comes off easily. Any problems like that yourself? 

  2. I am considering a small tank bag for things such as phone, passport, battery charger for when we go on tour.

    I have read a few threads on here about some, but  I am interested in what people have and the good and bad of them. I see that the tank ring bags are more expensive, but are the magnetic ones any good? Do they stay on ok or move easy, damage the paint easily?

    As I say, it doesn't need to be very big as it won't have to hold too much at a time.  Is there any "cheaper ones" that anybody has found to be ok?

     

  3. Got the 2019 GT and very pleased with it. Does everything well, and some things superbly.

    Depends how you ride it really, it is fast when you need it to be. Equally happy bimbling around, turns well at speed and at slow speed. As you say, to get the extras that the GT has as standard, that BMW will cost an arm and a leg. Been all over France on mine, and just planned the next tour around Wales and Scotland for July.

    Take one out for a while, you'll love the sound, the handling and I bet you love the sheer brutality of it  if you let her loose!!

    A good "cheaper" do it all bike

    I have been riding for the last three days with the prototype setup.  All is good and movement and vibration is minimal.   The movement is in the entire rubber-mounted windshield assembly, not the GPS mount.

    Latest version of the GPS mount as seen through the windshield.  This is mounted to a Zumo 550 cradle.  The mount has standard AMPs bolt pattern, so it will mate with most every GPS cradle or mounting system out there.  Set up for a cross bar that is 12mm or .5 inch.  Pretty standard cross bar size.  Same as the GPS mount on my Givi mount on the VStrom, windshield frame on the Africa Twin, windshield stay on the GS and many others.   Final tweaks being made, bolts being procured, etc.

    Hi,

    Did you ever get this tested and working as desired? Wondered if you were gonna be / or are selling them?

  5. Thanks for the video, really helpful.

    As you say, quite bouncy at times. I see you use a TomTom.

    I wonder if its just the Garmins that have a problem with satellite interference?

    Have to say it looks much better there than where I have mine though.

  6. We're doing the Scotland NC500 in July. We're right on the south coast of UK so a bit of a trip to get up there to start with. Done it in a car before, so looking forward to doing it on the bikes. Initially gonna wild camp, but them midges are a nightmare, so looking at hostels/hotels probably. 

    Weather can be very unpredictable, so plenty of gear going with me

    That would be correct if we were talking about a 3P connector at the rear of the bike.  However Yamaha uses Blue wires all over the place for a variety of different circuits.

    Ahh, just knew I'd read that somewhere about the blue and tail lights.

     

    Is it worth unplugging it and seeing what doesn't work anymore?
