Does the givi tank bag ring lock not work?

Lots of people using them.
But I put the Wunderlich 3L Click bag on my new ride.

Sure. I used a 30 liter Magnetic tank bag on my FJR. But at first, I laid down a clear film to protect the tank...now I down bother as the bike is going away.
(For those of you who have never used a magnetic tank bag, they are great for picking up the metal filings off your work bench.
I just like the Givi ring lock.

I used a Chase Harper magnetic bag for at least 20-30 years on 3 or 4 different motorcycles. When the zipper failed after about 10-15 years they replaced it for free. And, yes, I did find a 1/8" drill bit that I had been looking for years on the bottom of it.

The Wunderlich tank ring that I bought has a riser built in to hold the tank bag a bit higher and off the tank. And I bought a smaller one. My big Chase Harper was so large that things accumulated in the bottom of it and I forgot that I even had them. Consequently I carried a bunch of "stuff" around that I never used (even if I needed it) because I forgot that I had it. No more mobile junk compartment. The 3L Click Bag has some nice features. It has a charging cord access, 2 or 3 inside compartments, 2 "D" loops on the outside which I can clip glasses case to, and a velcro strap on top to secure something like gloves or rain covers to. I chose this one over Givi because of those features. I have found that if I have a place to put my sunglasses I don't ride away with my sunglasses on top of the gas pump.

For me, 15 liters is perfect and I dont have to fill it. and It holds my map. And you cant overload it with weight and effect the balance of the bike. And its a great place for diarehha pills, diapers and spare underwear.IMG_20260809_150858161_HDR_copy_958x680.jpg
 
I have a Givi on my Tracer 900 with the quick disconnect tank ring. I'm not a big fan of the big Givi ring; it's pretty ugly when the bag isn't on the bike. I have a SW Motech City bag on my NT1100. It's a pretty big bag, but the tank ring is more unobtrusive than the Givi, and over all I like the SW Motech bag better. Both are pretty pricey. I've ordered another ST Motech for my Himalayan, but it's back ordered through mid September.
 
I have a Bagster tank cover on my NT and FJR and use a magnetic Cortech bag on both bikes. Sticks well and with the tank covers will not scratch the paint. Of course I do use the safety strap.

I didnt know they made tank bras! When I cared about my FJR, I would put on clear plastic thick film to protect the tank on tour.

Did you get one of the new Himalayans with Tubeless tires? There was one at the bike dealer in Spearfish.
