Baglux Tank Bags - which one ?

[Murph]

Looking to get a tank cover and bag for 1150GS - lot's of comment on here re Baglux, but wondering which ones actually fit best for GS - Thinking od Athena or Practika - anyone have one of these and if so are they OK on the move ?

Never tried the newer shape ones but used to have an Alpha which was fine, no problems on the move as long as you make sure its clipped on properly. The map pockets on newer ones dont look as good given there shape.

I've used a black Alpha on my last 3 bikes. Just get a tank cover to fit when I change.

I've just got a GS and have used Baglux on all my other bikes, I have both an Athena Bag and a Map Pocket. When i put a tank cover on the GS i found that both bag and map were to far towards you making them really unusable. I am sure others will be able to help more but i have decided not to use mine.

I agree that the Baglux tank cover positions the map too close to the body to read on the move. This doesn't bother me as I tend to stop; look at the map; memorise the next chunk and carry on. Looking at a map whilst on the move just does not feel safe to me.

Thanks for the comments - they still do Alpha so if that works I'm sure it'll work for me too.
