Another Satnav Lock Option?

Re: Givi UT810 Tanklock bag

I'm guessing this query has come too early in the life of the bag.  If I end up going for it I will feed back on the forum unless someone else beats me too it. Given that some didn't like the size (and indeed price & lack of compartments) of the BMW bag designed to fit the tank rail for...

Re: Hi and Thank you

Givi UT810 Tanklock bag

Well, here we go the queries begin :) . Sadly I'll be losing my much loved tank bag rail (to my mind best tank bag fitting ever designed) when I give up the 2010 RT, don't like the idea of plastic clips (just not BMW to my mind but all my protestations were ignored) and have narrowed down to the Giv...

Re: Hi and Thank you
