Review on πŸŽ’ Givi Tanklock Combo Kit - XS320 Xstream Expandable Tank Bag & BF25 Tank Ring Combo Kit - compatible with Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Motorcycle by Brady Penczak

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slightly satisfied yet disappointed

I was under the impression that GIVI's gas cap system is actually a system where you put a gas cap ring on your bike and then depending on the activity you choose which bag you want to use. I installed one on my 2009 BMW R1200 GS Adventure and have been happily riding with a GIVI ST602 4L tank bag. The bag is small but unobtrusive, everything I wanted fits in it. I then traded the BMW in for a 2017 Honda Africa Twin and figured I could just order a tanklock ring for the new bike. nope Here's what I get for guessing. Apparently there is ONE tanklock ring that fits on the Africa Twin and it only works with the XS320 bag which is HUGE compared to the ST602. The bags they have are great and the closure system is way better than straps or magnets but I think this is the best marketing to get people to buy a new ring AND a new bag instead of an old one bag to use with a new ring.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Quality
