I loved this bag. It’s really easy install – about 5 minutes once you get the hang of it. And it’s a super-handy size, 8-litres,perfect for an enduro bike as much as an adventure. GL have been making adventure and dual sport luggage since 2008 and specialise in producing quality luggage for riders who spend the majority of their time in the dirt.
That said, due to the universal design of
the harnesses their luggage (and in this
case) the Tank Bag although designed for
Adventure/dual sport and Enduro bikes
primarily will fit almost any bike, on or off
road.
The Fandango Pro has a gentle sloping
design to the base that fits the shape of the
most motorcycle tanks. It also features a
tank cap cutaway that makes refuelling a
cinch. The bag features GL’s ‘Bombshell
technology’ – essentially a 22-ounce vinyl
coated polyester water-resistant main
compartment.Â
That is water resistant in
the most part, unless you encounter loads of rain. But on those wettest of days GL
have the situation covered with an internal
‘Drypod’ bag which even comes with a
vacuum pack valve for space saving – and
this kept everything dry and snug. You can
alternatively use an external cover but I
chose not to so as to keep the contents of
the map pocket visible.
I like that the map pocket can be accessed
via a Velcro strip without having to go into
the main body of the bag. A cable access
point located at the front of the bag allows
you to connect a charging wire for your
phone etc in the main body of the bag
or the map pocket, protected by a rubber
grommet. Both standard and pro versions
offer YKK Zips but only the Pro version
offers a movable partitioning inside the
main pouch.
The Pro also features an additional
internal pocket on the top flap as well as
an additional rider-facing pocket which
I found super useful and used frequently.
