Fitting BMW 1150 tank bag

[Flipfly]

I have aquired a nice 1150 BMW tank bag and I know I've seen pics of one fitted to a 650. Question is, how do you fix the front of the bag down???

and me.!

Just like Flipfly I'd also been keen to hear how other people have done this and how they made it fully secure

Any info or photo's would be great

Fandango, buy the little bracket from the 650 tank bag (available from the main dealers for £7 ish). Mount the front to the bracket, back to the frame (not the panels) and hey presto the bag fits.
I will double up the elastic with a little stitching a little on the front to tighten things up a bit for off road work, but it's safe enough now for road riding.

Splendid.!

Cheers Flipfly.
I'm off into the attic now to dust off my 1150 tanks bag.

I hadn't even considered it might fit until I saw your post so you've help me out loads
