I bought a Givi tank ring as i already own a couple of their bags using the tank lock system. Givi dont list one for the 2015 S1000RR but the a GS one fitted fine. The only problem was that although i fitted the smallest tank bag Givi do it completely affected the riding position. It forced my back to be upright when it should be naturally curved against the tank. It also meant that i was having to lean harder to reach the bars, I am 5'11" so no small fella. Although it appears only a small bag it was so uncomfortable that i had to return home and ditch it after a few miles.

It not an uncommon issue. I've not seen anyone truely comfortable with a Tank ring style yet.

I have the SW-Motech Evo - I want to try out the 2 smaller bags in the range but I don't want to risk the cash. Need to find a London dealer with stock we can test fit.
