Prefered tank Bag

[red rocket]

I have a Baglux Alpha bag left over from my 1150 just wondering the prefered choice on the 1200.
Every time a BMW one comes on ebay they fetch over £100 it seems.
So I have to decide on a baglux harness £80 or so to take my bag or one of these or the bmw one unless anybody can persuade me of a better choice
Cheers R.R.

Hi Red Rocket,

I'm interested in any replies to this. I too have an old Baxlux Alpha bag from
a previous bike so I decided to get a Baglux cover for my new (to me Way-Hey! onyack ) 1200GS.

Not wanting to hijack the thread but I am more interested in what other Baglux tankbags others are using with pictures (I'm just a visual kinda' guy).

I'll post a pick of the Alpha in place so you can see what is looks like.


Full left lock is OK, but I have managed to beep as a couple of bemused [first typed as bwmused ] passers by 'cos my thumb was pushed against the horn.
Though this may have more to do with me getting used to BMW's indicator layout.
(Which does have thoroughly sensible logic when you add hazard lights into the equation but my fingers sometimes go back to their old habits )

Cheers,
Ian

Well it arrived and took minutes to fit so no need really to leave the harness on unless you use a bag that regularly.
Sits more forward compared to my mates Alpha baglux bag.
The out side pockets will be very handy.
My only concern is the initial mating of the two zips as someone posted definately an art & I'll no doubt get used to it as for filling up the tank I think again it will be a case of getting used to it & not removing the bag fully.
Apears to miss the controls but havent ridden it yet just sat in the shed & pretended I think I'll be able to live with any little niggles if there are any as the price I prefer & not having to stick things to your tank .
So at the moment well pleased.

cheers R.R. also Ian
