Hi everyone
Just kitting out my new Tracer with Givi V47 top box and touring screen, which works really well, not sure about the looks!
On the lookout for Givi PLXR2122 pannier frames and V35 panniers if anyone has some surplus to requirements.
Has anybody any recommendations on Tank bags? I only want a small one 5-10ltrs. A tanklock type is what I'm looking for. Givi do one but it's a semi-hard case and the opening is half way down which means, I suspect, anything more than half full and stuff falls out when you open the zip? Held and SW Motech make the sort of thing I'm looking for but does anyone know if adaptors fit the tracer fuel cap? I know the front tank trims get in the way on some designs. Any help much appreciated.
By the way I think the Tracer 900 is an epic bike. Having come from a BMW R1200rt 2011 and 2 FJR 1300's I expected to be left wanting in the comfort department. Surprisingly my wife finds the seat at least as comfortable as the BMW but hates the wind noise. We haven't tried the Givi screen 2 up yet but it's quiet for the rider so here's hoping. I certainly don't find the seat that comfortable but I'm having too much fun to care at the moment!

Hi
Yeah the Givi Tanklock bag is ideal for the size of the bike, its 20L and just adds to the other luggage without marking the tank, well recommended.
Doesn't have the zip low down so not sure which one you looked at but this one also reduces in height if its not full with the adjustable zip.

Thanks for your help.

That's a nicely kitted out bike!
I've always had similar sized tank bags to yours but I thought to get a smaller one this time. I tend to put all our important stuff in to take with us when we're touring abroad and I think we can get away with carrying a smaller bag around when we leave the bike unattended. Our fifth trip with Brittany Ferries to Santander is booked for next May so I have a bit of time to decide. Perhaps I will see what I want at the NEC later this month?
Many thanks for your help
Wynn.
