Haha, I too started out with a Eurodesign bag on my GT380. And their rack.... and their soft panniers! I beg to differ on the massive bag issue, though - at full stretch my Bagster can accommodate two lots of rain trousers, 2 sleeping bags, a stove and probably a kitchen sink, too. It can be useful to lean against in windy conditions and also provides a rain shield. But normally I have it at a sensible half height.Richard Simpson Mark II wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 12:23 pm Crikey...I first used a tank-bag in 1979.
A 'Eurodesign' on a Moto Morini 3 1/2 Strada, if anyone's interested (thought not).
Providing you don't go down the massive 'peer over the top' tankbag route, I think they work well.
I'm wondering why you "should" avoid ring mounted bags? I'm Givi ring type fan myself. Have a small tank bag for short trips (holds camera, phone, sunglasses, ear plugs) and bigger one for longer trips. I've used them on many different bikes without issues.AlanHolt wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 10:55 am I'm considering getting a tank bag for my 1250 GSA to use on our European trips. I've never had a tank bag before on any bike, but I like the idea of having documents, camera and essentials close to hand instead of having to get off and go into the hard luggage each time.
What is the advice and/or experience from members of this forum? I know I should avoid the ring mounted bags with the GS, and I'll probably need a rain cover, but that's it. Is there a better alternative?
