G'day from Tasmania & Welcome.

I jumped in as well and ordered the adapter.....well done, I am sure a lot of people here are going to appreciate your ingenuity.

Cheers Taz.

Welcome Okuraner,
Your EBay add is closed, any chance of running another batch? I'd like to order one.

I was just riding through Istanbul last July. Fun times.
Sadly I didn't south of the Boğaziçi to visit Ankara and cappadocia, etc.
Enjoy Corsica!

I'm liking the 604 as well as xs307. A 10 liter version of the 3D603 would be perfect IMHO.

This is the solution I came up with last year. Not as elegant as okuranas' fitting, which by the way is brilliant, (might need an emergency purchase of givi tank bag soon). I fitted straps and quick release buckles with neoprene sleeves and tabs to protect the tank. No-one did a mini strap on bag in the UK at the time, and probably still don't. It still has the magnets so can be used on metal tanks.

The newer version of the X2 bag from Oxford has a clear panel in the front I believe. This quick fix up served me well so far, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. (Tho'I still might purchase a tank lock from okurana).
P.S. This is a 1 litre bag that expands by unzipping to 2litres, and quite stable when flat out.

Looks nice except to rich gas tap, you must unbucle and re-bucle at least two straps. What is it on the left side of the handlebar?

Tanabuso Posts : 69 Join date : 2015-01-29

Yup! That's the only downside, 2 quick release buckles to gas up, but better than stuffing everything in your pockets. On the left bar is a temperature controller for the heated grips. Necessary for riding in the uk most of the time.

Personally I have no problem with cold hands vice versa I need complete air conditioning during summer time when we get 40-42C. Laughing

GRiSO Posts : 1163 Join date : 2013-11-26 Age : 60

My desert hits 42C during the summer too. ugh. But I am a complete wimp about cold hands. Life with my GRiSO requires I get a 1/4 fairing that can blow the wind out past my hands.

Hi Okuraner and welcome to this forum,
I stumbled on your ring on Ebay a few weeks ago, quite by accident. My mechanic has been working on a ring in aluminum for a few months, but not ready yet. So I ordered yours, since I have the small Givi bag already. Very small world! I received your adapter ring just yesterday and it looks great. I will mount it today after some work.
Cheers!

Sfregiato Posts : 467 Join date : 2014-06-13 Age : 74

Mounting ring installation adjustment. On my '12 GRiSO, the mounting holes did not line up perfectly, so I had to ream both the inner small hole and larger countersunk hole outward approx 1/32" to get the bolts threaded into the tank. Otherwise it works great!

You are right. This week we fixed this error. Now it fits perfectly without doing extra work. We found out that it was the fault of the base positioning on CNC.

OK! Happy you corrected the problem. Looks great.

Mine arrived yesterday and fitted perfectly, no need for any adjustments/modification. For everyday use the Givi bag will be much better than the factory one which interferes with the kill switch at full lock.

Thanks for going to the trouble of manufacturing the ring.

Hi okurane
Tankbag ring arrived today.
What a great product, and service.
I take my hat off to you, you saw something that you could not buy and made it.
Not only that but shared with us.
Thank you.
