Baglux tank bag

[Stuart O]

Hi - I have searched and dont seem to get very positive response to the use of the Bqglux 'tank' cover and tankbag options, had a look at their site today and it seems to show weird looking yellow/ black cover as only option. Bike will be grey if I buy it so looking for the black option..
Anyone had much dealings with these on 800 GS ??

I q liked the detach-ability on my prev 1150 Gs's ..

I am not using one though, I have the Famsa tank bag and very happy with it .. Recently hired a 1200GS, with a hook (front) and zip tank bag combination, what a piece of rubbish, did not like that at all.

Thanks for NN link, seems v pricey for a wee strip of material doesnt it - time you add the bag you'd be near 200 quid

Looks like the Famsa option is best value of similar type,,

For less than that price, why not considering the Kriega bags with tailpack to tankbag converter

The Wunderlich bag for the 800 GS is a different part number see below,

WUN-1250111 WUNDERLICH TANK BAG TOURING - F650GS 081 £144.00

I just ordered one, from Nippy Norman, hoping it was going to be here today

I also have the Wunderlich tank bag from NN on my F650GS. I agree with what others have already said. A well made piece of kit with good functionality.

I was an off road ride with someone last weekend and they had a famsa bag. Its a bit wider than the above which caused their horn to go off whenever they turned left! I think NN also has something that covers the horn switch to stop this.

That was me...

To be fair, Malcolm, it only operated the horn on full lock - it didn't actually restrict the lock either. In normal (i.e., on-road) use I've never had it happen (yet).
