Very nice bit of kit, I’ll probably go with this for my 1290SA (they seem to look good on that model). I like the 3 pockets, especially the rear pocket, should be good for stashing my wallet & easy removal (by me, I hope) for tolls etc. QUESTION- can you run a power cable through the bag, to the rear, and up into the in situ clear window in which an iPad mini or iPhone could sit?
Ronan Rogers You can but it might not be great for your cable as it could get squashed as it's in a tight space in the window. You might get away with it with a small device, but anything bigger should be cable free to make best use of the space. To be honest I have found little use for the window except for printed material, such as ferry booking details etc. Looking down at it while riding is not ideal as it means taking your eyes off the road to focus on the screen before having to refocus on the road. I got a sat nav holder and much prefer it. I did a review of that as well if you care to take a look.
Isa Bilal ...thank you. Im going to get this for my 1290SA. I agree about keeping eyes in front. I have a Zumo 590 mounted right up front, just behind the windshield, and it’s pretty easy to glance at it and get my eyes back on the road (actually, I sometimes have the voice instructions through my Sena 20 when I’m abroad).
Hi ! Could you tell me if it's possible to adjust the position of the bag from front to back so that it adapts perfectly to the shape of the tank when mounted on it ? I've got a Ninja 1000sx and the back of the bag is in the air when mounted, i'd like to move it a bit to the front but i don't know if it's possible. Thx!
I couldn't find a proper tank bag for my Yamaha diversion thanks to you i already order it
Nice Review, very helpful, thanks.

hii .. can you tell the internal dimentions...??
Good review, thank you. But you could have talked a bit louder, other than that good video. :)
legolator Thanks. I'd like to blame the mic on the phone but I guess I could have spoken up a bit more. Ride safe!
hi, just wondering how easy it is to see your speedo over the top?
Peter Abrey Very easily. I had the same concern before I bought it but didn't have to worry.
awesome, thanks for letting me know, and you should do more reviews! they're really good
Peter Abrey Thanks! I've got the Givi satnav holder and will do a review of that soon.
awesome, seriously though i reckon you could make your reviews into a full time channel if you wanted
Peter Abrey Satnav review up!
nice!
