Got a Givi T480 quicklock setup and it works great. the small side pockets are a bit tricky to use but will take some usefull items. Can extended easily fit a couple of 3 liter bag-in-box wine containers + 3 bottles of rum, gin and jaegermeister. easy to use the locking system. Fits the GTR like a charm and dont obscure the GPS ( on kawasaki OEM mount) at all.

My Givi Tank Lock XS307 (http://www.givi.co.uk/soft-bags/Tank-Bags/XS307%20TANKLOCK). I cut the silver liner out as it's useless and annoying. I raised the tank ring slightly with a cable tie as I have a Bagster Tank Cover (don't like their tank bags).

I've had an SW Motech "Day Bag" since last weekend. Seems really good, one pull of the tether (fitted by press - stud to the front of the bag) unlocks it for removal and it just clips back on. There is a "Security Pin" available to lock it to the tank ring, however that is back ordered with no promise of early delivery (in fact I waited almost a month for the locking ring to secure the bag to the tank to become available).

The bag does not contact the tank directly when fitted, eliminating any prospect of paint damage.

Perhaps availability of the fittings is the only real drawback?

Just a 'big up' for Bykebitz. Always had top service from them in the past.
