| I wonder if anyone here has used a GIVI EA 122 tunnel bag on a Silverwing.
If so, how was it?
Thanks, chaps.

| Thank you, John.
I have a Motodetail one at the moment which came with the bike and is a bit too long so has to be wrestled into place.
I have a yellow curly thing that's really for disc-locks attached to the bag's strap and looped over my RAM mount on the handle-bars so I can haul it up from beside the bike when I'm in place. |

| Note on bag: I held mine on with Velcro and loop made of nylon ties passed thru ignition key as security----makes easy re-fueling.
Bag currently in use on my Kymco XTown 300i---Velcro too. Take with me on trips, without stiffener, just in case I need to carry extra stuff. Bag not waterproof. |

| Thank you again, John.
Currently, my bag is held on with a webbing strap looped round the seat hinge and with a trigger hook on each end which links through the handle. The bag is such a tight fit it would probably stay in place of its own accord.
I've been using it for my shopping trips; the potatoes and other heavy stuff go in it. It has a waterproof mac. For longer trips I line it with a strong plastic bag. |
