Tank Bag for 2007 GSA

[David Lee]

Guys n Gals,

What make and size tankbag would you recommend for my '07 GSA ? What do you use ?

Need a bit more space for a camping trip later this year and would appreciate some advice.

My bike has the handlebar brace bar on it, so that's a concern when turning on full lock but I am not worried about resting my chest on it. Really want to pack clothes etc in it

Plus, do you prefer a tank cover with clip on bag (baglux type) or just a bag with a foam base which can flip up when you fill with fuel (My BMW dealer type).

All help gratefully received

Dave

I had the Bagster type (Alpha Bag) on my GS, and I now have the BMW bag on the GSA.

I like both of them, but I prefere the BMW as it sits further up the tank than the Bagster (http://ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176031&highlight=bagster), and the BMW have build in water protection. And all in all they cost almost the same....

I have this one: http://www.touratech.com/shops/008/product_info.php?cPath=3_38_274&products_id=4174&osCsid=175f0c474c97a3b1fbcc7ad8ba415e8e

But mine is in the greyish/blue color, it's waterproof and can quickly be carried as a backpack with comfort when leaving the bike. It has quick connects for easy flip when filling fuel and fits perfectly as the bottom is shaped for the GS tank. No problem with the cross-bar at the handlebar as long as you take of the foam protection.

Touratech has a wide range of tankbags for the GS in different sizes and prices. I'm very happy with mine and recommend it. A friend of mine has the same model but only water resistant, to be honest that work seams to work perfectly to but has a better price.

I use the Touratech water resistant tank bag part number 01-055-1123-0.

It is well made and suits me fine.

They do a waterproof one but it's a bit fruity in the price department!
