GSA Removing the trim

[DaveS]

I’ve bought a Bagster tank cover for my GSA and it looks like I need to remove the tank trim both sides to fit it properly.
It wasn’t supplied with any instructions and searching around hasn’t come up with anything.
So any tips on taking the trim off, the order etc?
And on fitting the tank cover.

Thanks in advance.

I had my cover first fitted by the people I bought it off and it took sometime but no parts were removed.

I took it off about a year ago and never refitted it, but I will.

I have a 2017 GSA and I don’t need to remove anything to fit the cover apart from riders seat.

According to one image I saw the whole of the stiching looks like it sits under the tank trim so that it’s hidden.

So where do the two lower front webbing fixings of the left and right lobes fix on the bike?
The top one of the two is a really odd bent metal shape almost likes it’s designed to go around a pipe or frame tube. The tank has no edge for it to slot on to and can’t see anything it can fix to.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you never thought about a video!

No worries.

Aside from the shite on YouTube there's some useful information.

Check out the photo on this page https://www.bagsterworld.de/pi.php/en/R-1200-GS-ADVENTURE-2014.html

It looks like you need to move the side adjusters near the top.
