If I remember correctly, they recommend a different ring, (307, 308 maybe?) but that one has the bag sitting 1" or more above the tank surface. I believe this is a post that clarifies the part numbers for the 'correct' ring to use. For the record, I bought this part number TRT.00.640.11001/B (110) which is the 'low' version. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tktplz Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Mine is the SW-Motec City Bag with the 308, higher ring it suggests for it. It's 15 liters and holds everything, plus water bottles, etc. I did want a bit bigger bag that can hold a days worth of stuff and room in case ya buy something out on the road.

mike Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) I have been using the City bag for six years on three bikes. This bag has done at least 50,000 miles and still looks new and latches securely. You do pay more for these bags but this has been the best quality of any bag I have used in the past. I got creative and modified a tank ring from my old Triumph Tiger 1050 to work on the GT and everything works well. If there is a taller ring, that will be the one you need. I had to shim the latching hardware away from the bottom of the bag to get it to work on the standard height ring so the extra height ring will be needed.

Dodgy Knees Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The deeper tank ring doesn't look great without bag but you do get used to it. Bit like an ashtray. Not on subject but...how do those 2 bikes compare.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwareguy2068 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Also use the SW Motech Engage bag....It is a fantastic bag and looks outstanding on the FJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using it for four years and works great. After decades of other mounting systems I'm all ring now. Any pics of this? I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfifer Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Have a look at this Givi part. Givi sell it as a spare so that should the locking system on your Givi Tanlock bag fail --- you can replace it inexpensively rather than have to buy a new bag. You can of course buy the item and fit it to any tankbag to convert it to tanklock. Givi ZT480R New Replacement "Tanklock" Lock & Release Flange Mechanism This is the part that screws to... The "common" method is to buy a couple of really cheap polyprop kitchen cutting boards. Cut them so one fits neatly inside your selected ancient (magnetic?) tank bag. Cut the other board, probably a bit smaller, centre the two parts and drill them so you can mount the Givi flange. Sandwich the tank bag with the boards. Hot wire the mounting holes through the bag. Screw the Flange and BagSandwich together. Voila a tanklock bag. There was a video someplace but I could not find it -- hence all the words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfifer Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Predictably I found A Video. Not the full Cutting board conversion but it shows the principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
