Yam350 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Apologies if this has been asked before. I’ve recently bought my old V11 back and want to fit a Givi tanklock bag. When I owned the bike before I made an aluminium “horseshoe” to raise the locking ring above the tank pad, however I gave it to another member when I sold the bike. My question is has anyone removed the pad and replaced it with a flush cover or is the later tank compatible with my 2002 model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p6x Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Are you referring to the pad that prevents the tank to be scratched by eventual zip actuators? The photo below shows what I understand by "tank pad". Right below the filler cap of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yam350 Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 No it’s the foam pad which runs from the front of the tank to the filler cap. It’s raised about half an inch above the tank. Later versions didn’t have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Later tanks fit the 2002 LongFrame. Yet, plan on changing the fuel line routing as you will remove your external pump and filter and plumb the internal pump/filter/regulator of the long tank that has the smooth top (no "chin pad").

Yam350 Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thanks doc, other than the afore mentioned plumbing I assume the later tanks are a direct replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
