I have a Hein Gericke magnetic tank bag for the Hornet, the problem I have is that it keeps sounding the poxy horn if I go full lock left (which I need to do several times a day).
I'm looking at the Givi Tanklock bags (specifically the large 25 litre XS306 - https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/209422)
Has anyone had any experience with these bags, any fouling of the controls when going full lock?

My mate has one on his ZZR1400 and other than looking highly precarious*, he has no complaints.

* It isn't, it just looks it.

have the xs 306 on my vfr, no issues with full lock, fits on and releases without issue, as it's behind a screen I've never had to worry about it pulling off at speed, it does let some water in over an hour of heavy rain though but I refuse to use the silly looking shower cap for it so just put the contents in a plastic bag.
Not high enough to block the clocks.
Good for resting your head on over long journeys as all tank bags are, but stops the ability to duck below the screen at the same time.
Got rid of the head strap by bundling it up and using a cable tie, I don't see a need for it.

I have a Givi tanklock bag. Slightly different model to the one that you are looking at.

It is excellent apart from the waterproof outer bag on mine does not fit very well.

Would recommend it.

I've got the 15 ltr one. Although I've got nothing to compare it to as it's my 1st bike it seems to do its job fine. Looks abit odd/big on the bike but don't notice it when I'm riding. Seems pretty secure as well I don't have a screen or fairings on my bike and I've not used the extra strap to hold it on.

I have one, on my ducati monster s4 its fine but when I had a cbr1000rr 2011 it sat too far back and also had the same problem when fitted to my bmw s1000rr it just sits too far back gets in the way. other than that its good quality, but would try and make sure the position is good for you, as it varies alot it seems

I've got a littlun (ooer), mainly because I went to the shop and held them all against the bike for size to see which would interfere with handlebars or my view of the clocks.

It clicks on and off really easily, I am quite impressed so far.
