Tank Bags
Anyone out there who has fitted a Tenere specific tank bag yet?
Would appreciate your views - so far the only one I have seen (on the net) is the 'Off The Road' bag - anyone got one of these? Cheers! |

bags
Hi, I haven't bought one yet. but touratech do a tenere specific one, and baglux do one too. My old "strap-on" won't fit, as the tank is too short, so I'll be looking to buy either of these myself in the new year.

I use a Hein Gericke tank bag and just had to cut the base slightly to fit around the filler cap. Any good?, not a bad size, expandable and fits quite nicely.
Can get better pics if you so wish! Currently around �40 ish. Last edited by steveD; 17-06-11 at 09:42. |

Personally, because of the short tank area and the position of the ignition key that makes it hard to find a proper tankbag, I find it claustrophobic to mount any tankbag which inevitably gets into the front part of the seat area. I had a Held square-shaped tankbag which I thought its shape and size would fit well enough to the Tenere and I rode with it for 7000km, but I just find it obtrusive optically and limits my movements of standing up/sitting down. |

Hi,
I bought a tank bag from off-the-road, and am pleased with it - although I 've not used it on the bike loaded up. It does impinge slightly on the rider, but with a realively small tank area, I think most tank bags would. Fitting wise, you attach 2 straps (1 either side) to the frame, just below the seat (these can remain on the bike at all times, just tuck the tag under the tank). The bag base then attaches to these to straps, and one strap around the headstock. The bag then zips on easily. I can get more specific photos if you are interested. Russ |
