Hi i have a 2002 cyclone m2, looking to put a small tank bag on. I like the idea of the ones that twist and lock on the fuel filler, any idea where i can get one or the model number of the adapter please??

I've got a couple of Givi Tanklock bags on my Ducati and BMW and they're utterly brilliant. I was planning on fitting one to my Buells as well, but realised they wouldn't fit owing to the tank breather sticking up so far. I tried using spacers but not only did it look silly I was worried about the integrity of the screw threads into the tank.

When I mentioned spacers, I meant to raise the collar which fits on the tank cap fixing. Givi don't make an adaptor for any Buell, so I was going to use the universal adaptor. Since the breather sits up from the tank, it wont allow the base of the tank bag to go low enough to clip into the male part of the Tanklock.
