I have quite an old Hein Gericke Tuareg tank bag c/w side bags. I'm pretty sure it's made by Famsa, as it's very similar. I've used it on every one of the five GSes I've owned, except my current WC/LC /WeverTF you want to call it. However, my son borrowed it, without the side bags, to use on his bike for a trip to France, Germany and Switzerland last year.

I have a Famsa tank bag, had it for years on few different bikes. The base I use on my GS LC is the one from my old 1150GS and it fits fine. Good quality bag, plenty pockets.

Ive got the Famsa Emax tailored specifically for the GS LC. Ive used it literally once on a 5 day trip round Scotland. I personally have found that i dont like tank bags.
So,...its not far from brand new and if you're interested its yours for £85 posted to UK

I had a Famsa on my 2009 GS and found the zip a PITA to remove the bag for refuelling. The BMW bag was slightly better, but by far the best solution is an SW Motech Bags Connection tank bag which uses a mounting ring screwed to the fuel cap bezel. They're great quality bags and fitted/ removed in seconds

How else do you put fuel in it if you don't remove the bag?

Thanks all, torn between Famsa and Wunderlich.

It had a zip which went all the way around the base, so was a PITA to remove and refit. The BMW bag was easier to use as it was retained with a short zip next to the seat, but moved around and marked the paint. Bags Connection bags are held firmly in place and are removed in seconds.

I've extended the zip pull on my Hein Gericke / Famsa bag. That's made it much easier to get the bag on and off.
