PRODUCT REVIEW I
SW-MOTECH PRO TANK RING
T
ank bags are super handy, and if
you've never tried one, you really
should. They're perfect for carrying
your wallet, glasses, cell phone and a hat to
cover helmet hair when you stop for lunch,
or whatever. I always run a tank bag on my
street bikes, and I've done so for as long as
I can remember. They come in lots of styles
and shapes to suit the needs of almost every
rider. Attaching them to a motorcycle, howev-
er, has always been a challenge for luggage
manufacturers because no two gas tanks are
the same shape, and carelessly strapping a
tank bag to your motorcycle can scratch the
paint on the most noticeable place on your
bike. SW-Motech came up with a solution to
the strapping/scratching problem years ago
when they introduced their locking tank ring,
which attaches around the filler cap on your
fuel tank and holds the bag slightly off the
tank itself. Their design has now been im-
proved with the addition of magnets on the
lock ring that guide the tank bag into position
and onto the locking ring. This new PRO Tank
Ring was recently released for sale in the
U.S., and SW-Motech USA sent us one, along
with a PRO GS Tank Bag, to try out.
PRO GS Tank
Bag comes in a
variety of sizes
and shapes to
fit just about any
motorcycle.
The SW-Motech
PRO Lock Ring
attaches to the gas
tank's filler ring.
