BMW R 1150 GS [2000-2004] - Tanking Basic including counterpart tank sac

The Hepco & Becker tanking basic for the R 1150 GS model (construction year 2000-2004) is a practical solution for attaching a tank bag. This article enables the tank bag to be assembled safely and stably on the motorcycle without hindering access to the tank cover.

Product details

In addition to the tanking, the scope of delivery of the tanking basic also includes an adaptable counter holder, which is mounted on the tank bag depending on the specific tank shape and the control of the handlebar. The assembly of the tankring does not affect the function of the fuel cap, which can be easily opened even when tanking is attached.

Characteristics

• The tanking offers a secure hold, even at high driving speeds.
• The operation is carried out by a mechanical lock that is easy to use.
• The Hepco & Becker tank bag is placed on the tanking and locked itself audibly.
• 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 these tank sack systems.
• The recommended maximum speed with assembled tank bag is 130 km/h.
• The maximum recommended payload for the tank bag is around 3 kg.
• It is recommended to observe the specific information from the motorcycle manufacturer and the model -specific information.

The basic tanking has a purely mechanical locking, in contrast to the Lock-IT fenkringen, which are also equipped with magnets for centering. However, both systems use the same model -specific metal ring.

It is important to note that a tank bag with lock-IT counterholder cannot be installed on a basic tanking and vice versa. The components must be of the same system.
