HI,

I scored a very new original tank bag for my K1100RS, I tried fitting it on and played around with it for ages thinking that both straps were new and stiff, even adjusted and bent the end clips a little to make it hold, but boy I thought is was just a little to tight..

Then I searched and found out about the 2 x clips/hooks that attach to the tank on each side.

Does anyone have a spare or old set you want do not use anymore and would like to sell, haven't look on a BMW site for new parts, thought I'd ask here first.

Willing to pay postage to OZ

Many thanks once again Smile

These clips are getting very hard to find as they have been discontinued for some time. I found a set from Morton's BMW ( in Maryland IIRC) Google them.

Hi Dave,

I have looked around Oz for a while and nothing, I spoke with Chris Harris in the US and nothing there and hard to get he said.

Something will come along soon mate and thank you for the reply to btw Smile

Just curious:

Tank bag clips are not high tech, even though their shape may be idiosyncratic. If you have one -- or a model of one -- why don't you see if you could either fabricate an acceptable substitute or else find a substitute on some other product that would otherwise do the job?

Just muttering as old guys do...

Gidday Larry,

That's my next option mate if all else fails, I have a couple of old angle brackets here that have held up and could rehash to suit.

I'll see what happens but hey, nothing beats an original item on a bike Smile

Have you tried the guys at Munich Motorcycles in the west of the country?

Grant,

I sorted through the cobwebs and mouse droppings downstairs today.
I found a complete kit in my BMW parts cupboard.
I'll get them in the post to you on Tuesday.

cheers,

Andrew
