Product description: Tanking Basic from Hepco & Becker
The tanking basic, developed by Hepco & Becker for the eliminator 500 of the 2024-2025 construction years, is an efficient solution to attach a tank bag on your machine. This system is characterized by simple handling and a secure locking.
Product details
The tanking basic is included in the delivery of the tanking basic and an adaptable counterholder, which is installed depending on the specific tank shape and the handlebar. The fuel lid remains fully accessible even with assembled tanking, which the use considerably simplifies.
Assembly and compatibility
The assembly of the tanking is uncomplicated and only requires the tanking and a corresponding tank bag for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 model. A database on the manufacturer offers information on compatibility with specific motorcycle models.
Features and functions
- The tanking ensures a firm hold, even at high speeds.
- The lock is mechanically and can be seen by a clear click noise.
- For unlocking, a mechanism that is located at the front of the tank backpack is operated, whereupon the backpack can be easily removed.
- In Germany, no general operating license (ABE) or an entry in the vehicle documents is necessary for this type of tank sack systems.
- The recommended maximum speed with assembled tank bag is 130 km/h.
- The maximum payload for the tank bag should not exceed about 3 kg.
Please always note the information from the motorcycle manufacturer and the specific instructions for assembly and use provided with the product.
Differences to other models
Compared to the Lock-IT tanking from Hepco & Becker, which also uses magnets for centering, the basic tanking offers a purely mechanical lock. However, both models use the same model -specific metal ring.
Further information: A tank bag with Lock-IT counterholder is not compatible with the basic tanking and vice versa. It is important that tank sac countertakers and tanking come from the same system.
