Let’s talk tank bags

[scotty - 12]

I am spoiled with my tank bag on my S 1000 XR. It is a Givi with the tank ring attached to top of gas filler and floats above tank / ie no scratches.

I like the givi a lot but am not finding a tank ring that confirms fitment for 22 Busa. I am
Open to other brands but Suzuki model shows some kind of a pull string to release it?

I’m stumped with what to get at a fair price that will work well.

Yes they do MY MOTORCYCLE - SUZUKI 1300-HAYABUSA-21--22 - Givi

The link says “article in manufacturing”? So it’s not available?

We should have a real choice of tank bags soon.

Givi is due for release next month.

SW-Motech (SW-MOTECH Shop - high-quality motorcycle accessories) also next month - got this reply from the factory in Germany:

This set up from Hepco and Becker (https://www.hepco-becker.de/en/My-bike/SUZUKI/GSX-1300-R-Hayabusa-2021/) is, according to the latest info' from the UK Distributor, due to go on sale next week:

Top Sellerie (Petrol tank cover TPR6302 - SUZUKI GSX-R 1300 HAYABUSA [>= 2021] [Rates for: FRANCE]) have their tank covers on sale now but not for the silver model (which I have)!

I'm sure it varies, but do any of the tank rings have locks on them? Tank bags look so good these days it's hard not to imagine someone walking off with it.

The Givi part number is BF67:

Givi Tank Bag Flange BF67

They also have a seat lock (S430) that attaches to your passenger seat if that option suits you:

S430 SEATLOCK FOR TANKLOCK BAGS

GIVI S430 Base with universal retaining system to be used with a Tanklock bag or a TanklockED bag on the passenger portion of the seat. The new GIVI Seatlock is designed to integrate and function even with the most extreme sport motorcycles. The base SEATLOCK is equipped with the TANKLOCK quick...

giviusa.com

I'm waiting for the tank ring to be available in Canada as I don't want to pay twice as much for shipping it here than the part costs!

Thanks. Wow that’s a confusing site. Looks like I can’t just buy a flange?

Still in manufacturing…. Hmmmm

I put a givi with a lock ring on my gen2 and had gas fumes all the time. Maybe I did something wrong, but I followed directions.

Weird. I e had givi rings on two other bikes- no issues.

 

[effyzx]

in the past i have always used the bagster tank cover totally protects the tank , and any size bagster tank bag fits, it easily removed with the sliding clips , i believe top sellerie and baghster now have the tank covers available for the gen 3 , will have to get one sorted as i still have a bagster tank bag

 

[woodrrow]

Has anyone had any luck with tank bags? It looks like Givi is still in production and I'm not wanting to use a strapped bag or tank bra.

The tank ring is available now on the suzuki accessories page, and I have one on the way.
Ring Mount (2022)

It works with the Suzuki branded SW Motech Evo City bag, which I like and have ordered, but it's back-ordered, and no longer available on the Suzuki site. You MIGHT be able to have your dealer order one on backorder, don't know.

SW Motech DOES HAVE a US based website, and you should really use it. I messed around for way too long on the German site without any suggestion that I switch to the better option. But it's WAY better. This ring and setup works with the EVO line, but I think they're phasing it out for a newer ring design and line which doesn't have a Gen 3 busa base yet, but I could be out of date. But here's the same bag from SW Motech, for the same price. (I also liked their tank protectors, and got a set though they might be too wide):

These do have a string to unlock them from the tank, but under 'accessories' there's a pin lock system where you drill a small hole in the bottom of the bag, push a pin through, and it keeps the ring locked regardless of the cable. It also has a small combo lock for the zippers. I bought one of those locks as well. This is the US site:

EVO City tank bag
Anti-theft protection for PRO/ EVO tank bag
Tankpad. 79,6 x 113 mm. Black/Grey

PS the US site for sw-motech is in Portland Oregon, if I remember correctly, and if you give them a call they are friendly and competent and can help walk you through the website and options.

Thanks! I just ordered one!

I just got this today in the mail. I was impatient for stock to be available in North America, so I ordered this €15 part from Brixamoto (Italy).

How? Site says it’s in manufacturing?

 

[scotty - 12]

Screw it. Found the site and done. How long was shipping? Plus. Only $30 shipped? Seems like a deal!

It took 3 weeks as I chose the snail mail option (€9)

 

[scotty - 12]

Ok. I can accept that. Appreciate the help. Now I can use my existing (but worn) givi tank bag. Yay!
