Note: If you already own an SW-MOTECH tankring please ensure it has an EVO style quick-lock ring prior to making this purchase. This tankbag comes automatically with an EVO style topring which is incompatible with original style tankrings. A description of the differences between the two tankrings can be found in the attached file (see installation instruction tab above). If you have an original style tankring and would like to purchase a compatible topring for your new tankbag please call us at (855) 255 5550.
This bag was designed especially for the narrow handlebar clearances and sloping tank of BMW GS models, but fits many sport-touring and enduro bikes with steeply sloping tanks. With its narrow cut front it does not cause handlebar interference. Despite the narrow form in the front, the expandable "City" EVO tankbag offers a volume of 11 to 15 liters.
Note: This bag will fit the GS-Adventure, with tight clearance with the factory crossbar. Your bars may have to be rotated slightly forward, but you will be able to retain the crossbar.Installation of handlebar barbacks on your motorcycle moves your handlebars closer to the rear of your tank, and may cause the handlebars to interfere with ANY tankbag on many models of motorcycles.
Dimensions: L 14.2" x W 11" x H 7.9"

See bottom tank ring application chart for bike-specific fitment information.
