Tank bag for V85TT?

[steven c]

I was hoping my Wolfman tank bag would work (older model) but it just doesn't fit to long, to wide and my other bags will not work. So what are you using? I like to keep a camera, gloves water bottle in it. Thanks.

I use a SW-Motech Pro Daypack. It also requires the Pro Tank ring. There are also additional accessories you can add (phone case, lock).
The really nice thing about it is that it's not too large, and the connection of the bag to the tank ring is magnetic, at least for positioning. It clamps onto the ring, but the magnets ensure it hooks up easily, property and securely. Removes with a pull of a strap. Great for gassing up and then reattaching quickly and easily.

It's not waterproof, but comes with a cover. I generally keep things of importance in plastic bags inside, just in case. Very happy with it, but one minor downside is it didn't come with a carrying strap (just a handle), so I had to take one from something else.

I bought the lock too. I wouldn't leave the bag unattended and locked for an extended period, but for a quick stop at a gas station locking it is convenient. Prevents opening it and removing it by a casual passerby. I'd probably do without it though since I haven't used it a lot.

OK, this will be a little convoluted but this is what I use.  I like the Hepco Becker Tank ring set up because it has the legs with the magnets
that come back off the gas cap area to shift the tank bag back onto the sloped portion of the tank.  I find the area above the gas cap area
too small for a tank bag and for me my choices were touching the bars - just too congested.  So I went with HB and the DayPack 2.0.  I used
that for about 2-3 years but ultimately didn't like the bag because when unzipped the bottom portion wasn't very deep, especially with the room
the magnet plate took out of the bottom, so when unzipped your stuff  would be prone to tumble out.  I also wanted a tank bag that had separate
compartments rather than one space.  I wanted a small bag for absolute essentials, and if I need to carry more I use a tail bag.  I found what
I wanted in the Oxford Mini Magnetic bag.  It has two small side zippered areas and a center zippered portion with a small "map" pocket on the
center section.  I use the left side pocket for my wallet - so easy for gas stops.  Use the left side pocket for kickstand plate and small air gauge.
Center is big enough for maps (yes, I still use to augment my phone), balaclava, small water bottle, sunglasses, snacks.  This is a small bag,
which is what I wanted.  I used the magnetic base plate from the HB DayPack 2.0 and transferred it to the Oxford Magnetic Mini.  This arrangement
is absolutely what I wanted out of a tank bag.  The Oxford bag is very convenient to pop off and take with you into restaurant or wherever because
it is not bulky.  I wouldn't say the bag is the greatest quality, but it has been the most user friendly set up I have found after a little work to get there.
Of course I had to sacrifice the DayPack 2.0 to get the magnetic plate, but I got 3 years out of it.  Probably not a great option for a new purchase to buy
a bag and then sacrifice it for the magnetic plate.  Doubt you can buy just the plate.

Looking at the EICMA videos for the 2024 V85TT launch, it looks like there's a new OEM tank bag coming soon. I'm holding out for that, but the SW-Motech stuff looks great too.

This is the bag I put on my new Stelvio.  I like the quality and features of the bag, but check the size as a camera and water bottle might be tight, depending on what you use. 




On my V85 I have the Giant Loop Diablo, which is a little bigger.  Two things to be careful of on this bag are; the map case needs a cover since it isn't really too waterproof.  The second is that the bag is so much longer it makes getting the ignition key access a little bit of a pain.  All in all it is a good quality bag.

I use the GIVI tank ring and have a few different bags depending on how large it needs to be for that outing.

Damn…!
That Stelvio must be a fantastic thing. If I saw a red/silver version with polished rims, I don’t know how I could walk away…

I actually have a brand new Tusk Olympus bag like that thinking I would like mind the straps, but I really need something I can take off easily and it's a big too much hassle to do that every time and then remove the clips etc. If you're interested in it I'd be happy to give it a better home for a very reasonable price.

I've said it here many many times.  If you're using straps protect the surface it contacts with this stuff.  It's amazing.  I've used it on a zillion things for 20 years and it's perfect.

I installed one a while back on my V85.  It is just right in terms of size. Looks great and the quick release attach feature makes it easy to take with when you hop off for lunch.  Get one now!

I have a SW Mototech Micro bag on my V100. Easy on, easy off and very secure. It is superb for carrying smaller things like phone, glasses, ear plugs etc. The instructions for setting it and the tank ring up weren't the greatest but all was good in the end. Excellent quality.

Can you turn the handlebars side to side 100% using the Givi ring and bags? I thought I saw where they included parts to inhibit the steering?

[QuickLime]

Just found the OEM tank bag on the Guzzi site, looks pretty sleek. 5L, locks to bike (hopefully with the ignition key) and uses a tank ring like an SW-Motech or Givi to clip on. Retail in the UK looks like just over 200GBP including VAT, so probably about 200USD without VAT.

Just as an aside Trialsman.
Can those rear cases be rotated so the back ends are a little higher ?

[Trialsman]

Probably could if you bend the support rod up a little.

Hmmmm………

I got you thinking, didn't I?

I got you thinking, didn't I?

I know that if I got a red/silver one, the rims would be done and one or two other things. They are damn alluring.
