I'm not at home at the moment so I can't check. But if you Google Givi tank bag GS800 you'll see it.
I think they've updated it since I bought mine.
You fix the mounting bracket to the top panel of the GS's "Tank" using the slightly longer screws provided with the bag and leave it on, the bag just clips on and off, it works really well.

Have you tried the Bmw version as shown, havent found any issues with it and it was cheaper than the touratech version.

Yes, mine is different, this looks like an updated version.
They are so handy to take on and off and they're securely attached.

I have the Wolfman Explorer Lite 13L bag, only used it a few times but it is a very well made piece of kit and likely to last for years.

I am actually considering putting it on the 'Bay in the new year as it is just not being used, I fitted a small Pelicase on the tail rack not long after purchase and find myself using that instead. PM me if it is something you may want?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm now considering the SW Motech Yukon 90 as it's waterproof (without the need for a rain cover). Anyone on here using one? If so, what's your opinion?

I use the older givi one with tank ring and am well impressed. I have never bothered with its rain cover but then even if I did I bung stuff in bags anyway. After having rain covers fill up with water on throw overs they can actually make things worse. Image004 by herman munster, on Flickr
