Looking at getting the bmw tank bag for my 2015 GS1200LC.

Trying to delcide on the little or the large....

Is the large too large???

I already use the wunderkind bar bag and will be using full panniers.

The tank bag will be more for immediate items and easy note/map use.

Thanks
 
The large is great. You don't really notice it when you're riding anyway.

Get the large. Its actually not that much bigger than the small and you can expand it.
Its only in the way if you want to lower/raise the screen with your left hand.
I've got the handlebar brace/pad fitted and it doesn't get in the way

Nice, what's involved for removing to refuel?? Does it rub on the tank???

There are two quick clips at the back (red circle) and one at the front (yellow circle)

They do/undo in seconds. I usually just undo the back two for a fill up

The base is rubberised so doesn't move around that much that I have noticed

The wear will more than likely be on the bag rather than the tank and its cheaper for the bag than a tank I would wager

Had the bmw tank bag for the 1150gs superb quality and a nice size, had the large bmw bag for my 2011 gsa , again nice size and v good quality.
Got the large gsa bag with my lc last year, came free with the bike but it is sh@t quality, too small with a very badly designed map pocket and I doubt it will last.
For the price bmw are asking I would go for Wunderlich, Touratech or similar
