You should give it a try as long as the fuel tank's filler cap is flush with the tank top. In this case, the straps on the front of the tank bag are not spread apart as wide as necessary to go around the filler neck and cap, on top of the tank, and to the steering neck, necessary for a secure and proper installation. It didn't work with IMS 4, which I found out when trying to mount it. The tank holds 9 gallons. This bag had a wedge shape that combined well with the IMS rear slope, and both the capacity and features were superior to those found on many similar bags.
Although there is a gasket on the bag, there is no actual charging port. A charging cable could go through the opening, however.
The iPad 6 (9. I just tried fitting it. A 25-inch square is 6 inches square. It is not nearly big enough to fit 5") in it. The external measurement of the pocket shows that it has a 7-inch width. This format uses 5 x 6 inches. It has five. In addition, the thickness of a foam insert could reduce those values a bit.

I have just installed it on the BMW R1150GS (photos) and it has the following major features I will - This is a very practical size for SLR cameras, powered GPS systems, or cell phones (inside the window with the map), winter gloves, straps, and miscellaneous items. The straps easily hook onto the curved tank and remain in place with the bike - mounts securely when curved tank is curved. GS handlebars are not bumped (or plagued with annoying horn button contact) thanks to the narrow design*. A clever rain cover that expands up with the tank bag is quite secure, with anchor loops that go around the bag's strap and are quite robust. A nice design, but can be easily carried away if it looks "too nice" to leave unattended *br /> The fuel cap can easily be accessed in two steps if the front buckles are released and sewn with strap keepers*- I like the build quality, but I don't think the map window is as heavy duty as tank bags that cost more than $200, as I expected. Material used for construction appears to be better suited for highway use, rather than being bounced down dirt roads - in fact, heavy loads may be worse-. Despite having no real world experience with the bag's touring capability yet, my 35 years of riding motorcycles and my 7+ experience owning tank bags has led me to rank it highly and in my estimation it will last for a long time.
It's an integral part of my KLR650 and I use it every day. Easily mounted to my crash bars and wrapped around the stem, the bag is versatile and easy to carry. It sits on the gas tank in the right place and does not interfere with the handlebar's maneuverability. Although I quickly adjusted to the size and just rode with it in steep or challenging terrain, it can get in the way in extremely steep terrain or exceptionally challenging terrain. The bag in the picture was expanded to its maximum capacity when used on the trip. In this case, 60 riders took part in the ride It has been raining for 75 miles non-stop. With the rain cover attached, and the top pouch visible, the phone was provided with excellent protection. I was run over by a biker once when I failed to notice my rain fly came off in steep technical terrain and rocky terrain. As we were returning down the hill back to our hotel, I found it - the clear cover had a few scuffs but otherwise it was I ride every day and this bag is perfect for carrying my lunch with me. When not in use, it zips down into a very small package, but expands quickly when When you are riding at higher speeds, it is important to make sure the rain fly stays down over the edges all the way, as it will fill with air and could I haven't used the elastic bands that go over the straps, but they are there. As soon as I pulled it completely over the bag and cinched the drawstring, the situation was resolved.
I HIGHLY recommend this bag and plan on picking up another one, if I can find one I would like a smaller size of Rigg.
Originally, I had a Wolfman Enduro tank bag, but since returning it, I have this one on hand. With this Nelson Rigg you get a much larger, expandable, more pocketed thing, a rain cover and it's $30 less expensive! Even though the materials used might be of a lower quality, I doubt that it will have any effect on the outcome. With an IMS 4 on my WR250R, I am testing it out. The tank holds 7 gallons. The stickers are really nice, but I would like to see more! Photos illustrate the bag as well as the bag after it has been.
a good zipper system Located at the top of the bag is a double zipper (offers two ways to close) There is a zipper around the bag itself, which can be unzipped to expand or compress the volume, and the side pockets zip shut towards the front of the bag (better than the alternative). Expand it as I use it with my camera when I'm out and about. The bottom of the bag is padded and somewhat thick It doesn't matter that much as long as it keeps my tank and my camera separate from each other from The straps help the bag to remain in place The cover of the phone allows users to use the touchscreen, although it is often difficult to do it with gloves, even gloves that are made for it. There is no surprise here. In terms of its performance, it is less attractive without the rain cover almost not water-resistant When it rains here in Chicago, I often leave the rain cover attached to the front of the bag all the time and pull it over the bag systematically. If I were going anywhere, I wouldn't leave without the rain cover at least in my bag, which, of course, takes up It is possible to strap the rain cover on the bag to completely cover it, but this prevents the access to the contents. The condensation occurring on the two clear plastic covers from the ice and heat make it impossible to view the map or (even worse) the phone when it's hot. Whether you decide to ride off-road with a tank bag or not is entirely up to you Having this camera at my fingertips is a very convenient feature, but it does interfere with your ability to move back and forth on the saddle when riding over.
Stays put, doesn't mar the paint, and is easy to install. It would be great if it was waterproof or at least Since it has a cover though, really, there is no reason to complain. The product is excellent and I would recommend it.
