Posted: 14:42 - 09 Jun 2018 Post subject: Givi 'Tanklock' tankbag confusion |
|
|
Having just acquired a second bike (see my sig ) I have also splashed out on a Givi tanklock adapter for it, in order to be able to use my existing Givi tankbag interchangeably on both bikes.
However, the new adapter kit only contains a horseshoe-shaped lump of steel, and I'd evidently need to cannibalise the plastic circular flange currently fitted to the original bike, in order to use the bag on my new ride.
Is this correct? I'm assuming the plastic flange must have been originally supplied with the bag, not the adapter. Or should there actually be a second plastic flange provided with the new adapter? If not, this seems utterly bizarre... ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

The adapter kit is just that. Its assuming you changed bike model, not that you want to swap the bag between two different bikes.
Still the good thing about Givi is they dont charge the earth for spare parts . ____________________ 2014 Aprillia dorsoduro 750 factory. |

The plastic adapter uses the original cap and screws. You may have to use a different hinge pin with the adapter.
Remember that you can also adjust the position of the bag part of the adapter to allow the bag to sit more forward on the tank depending on where the filler is.
I went all the way to the IOM a couple if years ago and could hardly reach the bars. I fannied with the adapter at the camp site and noticed the range of positions for the adapter. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |
