Yeah but the waterproof is only 9 liters and not expendable versus the 11 liters (14 expended). if you don’t bother using the rain cover I think that’s the better option. Price is about the same. I do love the deeper black on the waterproof though..
Best of luck with your trip to LA. So hope that you manage to rent/borrow a bike while you’re over there, that would be sweet. Tank bag seems amazing 🤩.
I thinking about getting the Pro Daypack but what is making me thinking is precisely the fact that it's not recommended to store electronic devices, memory cards, (probably) the remote for the home gate, etc.
It was a worry for me too, but I've had everything in there. Phone, charging blocks, bike key (keyless ignition), GoPros, insta360, charging packs etc and never had an issue. I'd assume its just a warning so they can get out of any lawsuit
Hi Sam, great review and a nice tank bag, I like all the pockets and features. That Anker usb unit looks decent too, I love my Bluetooth soundbar by them, lasted 6 years before recently dying.
@@SamVBikes it's a shame yours leaks, I went with it because every report and review said the opposite and with a fairing or fly screen on my bikes figured I'd be safe. I haven't used it yet so I should find out this year.
bello schermo della tua moto, molto grande, ho preso come la tua borsa, mi deve ancora arrivare, volevo sapere con il magnete, come mi devo comportare con le varie memorie telecamere bancomat, carte di credito, non c'e pericolo che si smagnetizzano, ho visto che sw-motech, consiglia di metterle nella tasca, oppure c'e quqlche latra soluzione?
just bought mine for £126 for the bag, and another £26 for the ring mount, luckily I get VAT knocked off, hopefully it will be down soon before my trip away at the end of the month
Hi Sam, what to do next? For me its an easy one: more giggles! Rev the shit out of that thing! For real: every single video about the SAS is about the low rev torque and so on and a few mention the power high up but there are not enough videos showing the high rev power. Maybye you can repair your TFT so that its blurs out only the speed, not the tach. I've heard that the simple solution to this irritating error on all modern bikes is to get an tank mount for your GoPro 😉 Thanks for the video and keep on going!
Where is they lost front pocket, wich was most useful pocket on my previous generation City Pro. And two sections pocket on the lid? And four side internal sections (only two still there)? It mostly seems like downgrade. No moew even rings to attach shoulder strap. The only larger side pockets and magnetic mount are reasonable level up.
I have the micro pro and the city pro on order. The only problem with extra luggage space is carrying too much unnecessary junk. 2 or 3 extra chords, 3 or 4 sets of ear plugs, cutlery, etc. etc. To each his own I say. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! Trekker Dolomiti I think it's called. It's been great. Always enough space and looks great. Taken a few hits from me dropping the bike too and still solid
Hi Sam I know your Video is 2 years old and I’m a bit late to the party but just got same bag today and going on a tour to Belgium in a couple of weeks. Have u got a link for the W Anker 😀thing please
Better late than never! Haha! Welcome and congrats on the bag. It's a corker and I still use it now. This is the link, although it looks unavailable now. Loads of other options available on the ol' Bezos hub. I'm sure you can support other billionaires by getting similar ones elsewhere too!

No worse than any other tank bag really! I have the safety strap around the handlebar, lift the bag off and balance between the screen and handlebar/mirror and it's all good!
Only in the heaviest of rain does any water get through but it only gets damp around the edges. Nothing that has harmed anything I've had inside. There's a waterproof cover for the heavy rain, and they also now do a waterproof version
I'm not a real fan of tank bags but have a reayl small one basically for my phone and small items/change. Why can't you get a water proof tank bag without having to stop and fit a rain cover. And would they take one of my kidneys in part exchange for this one 🤔 🤣🤣
Yeah I'm the same. I only ever use this if I have too much stuff with me to all fit in the topbox, or going on a trip! I have no clue why more of them aren't waterproof! We clearly have the technology!
Yes! They look a little bit plastic for my liking! Hard to find a fully waterproof one that looks good! Love the Daypack, perfect size for daily use! Ride safe too and thanks for watching
I'm getting the bag for my S1000XR. Already own the sw motech micro pro tank bag and I love it! Need some more space for the longer trips..
It's ideal for that! There's now a waterproof version too!

A most useful owners review. It's a big failing that SW Motech do not actually show sample items inside their bags on their web site.
Agreed! Sounds so obvious yet they done do it!
Thanks for showing the interior. That's a pet peeve of mine ... very few tank bag manufacturers show pictures of the inside on their website.
Haha it annoys me too!
Great Review Sam! 👍
Cheers Martin!
Best of luck with your trip to LA. So hope that you manage to rent/borrow a bike while you’re over there, that would be sweet. Tank bag seems amazing 🤩.
Thank you! Would be amazing to get on a bike over here.

Thank you! Yes their products seem to be really good. Have a few different power banks!
@@SamVBikes I think I shall invest in some. I have the small givi version that you mentioned, ideal for the essentials on a day trip.
Yeah its been a gem. Great for throwing phone, keys and all that in there. Not sure why my leaks on those heavy days but never mind
@@SamVBikes it's a shame yours leaks, I went with it because every report and review said the opposite and with a fairing or fly screen on my bikes figured I'd be safe. I haven't used it yet so I should find out this year.
Thats the reason I bought it, but all of the leaks where on my Tracer so lots of protection from the elements! Yet to try this in the rain yet

Nice! I could do with VAT coming off too haha. I'm using mine now on a trip and it's been great!
Nice man! I have the small givi one and it doesn’t leak water even without the cover aha… must have been made on a Monday whilst the boss was watching
Yeah most of the time is was fine but in the bad weather it seemed to leak a lot! It did get abused though so maybe that was why!
Great video Sam Eagle Rider in LA are good lots of choice not just Harleys or Indians, off to A Bike Thing after watching this👍🏼
Thank you!
Hi Sam,
what to do next?
For me its an easy one: more giggles! Rev the shit out of that thing!

Thanks for the video and keep on going!
Haha! Agreed! All these new bikes seem to have an error of the speedo going blurry! Ha!
Thanks for watching!
Another top review matey. I’m sure you’ll get creative content in LA
Thanks mate! Looking forward to seeing where Mark from Leeds pops up haha

You mean all that extra stuff I had with me 😂😂 you are spot on! Going to get myself a micro for the Monkey Bike too
Is that Top Case the 46L one? How you like it?
Yes! Trekker Dolomiti I think it's called. It's been great. Always enough space and looks great. Taken a few hits from me dropping the bike too and still solid
Hi Sam, great video and after a lot of looking you’ve convinced me to get one for my 21 SAS. BTW, what is the GPS mount you are using?
Thank you bud! It's the Touratech lockable case mounted to the metal Touratech bracket that mounts behind the TFT. Really solid!
Just ordered one of these for my GTR1400
You'll love it!
Now, all we need now is a Dr. Who edition tank bag that’s larger on the inside to put your bike into when you go into the grocery store 😂😂
Now that would be useful 😂

One thing I've been searching for online can't find out, is there a shoulder strap that goes with / works with these?
@jagermini not that I'm aware of! I haven't found out but I'm sure any strap with a clip on each end will work
Is the sw-motech ring, metal or plastic?
Its metal underneath and the top is plastic. There's 2 parts to it
고마워 덕분에 내 궁굼증이 해결되었어.. 좋은 리뷰 멋진영상 아주 고마워
👍🏼🙌🏼
great stuff I have few bags by SW..just question, I like the way you have the GoPro mounted , its at the mirror?
Yes it is! It's on a RAM mount "tough-claw" with the double ball adjusters. Works really well
How annoying is refuelling?
No worse than any other tank bag really! I have the safety strap around the handlebar, lift the bag off and balance between the screen and handlebar/mirror and it's all good!
Has it leaked at all? As its not marked as waterproof?
Only in the heaviest of rain does any water get through but it only gets damp around the edges. Nothing that has harmed anything I've had inside. There's a waterproof cover for the heavy rain, and they also now do a waterproof version
Can you fit a large crash helmet inside?
No I think you'd really struggle to get any helmet in any of their range. Mainly because the spaces are quite square in shape
Great videos! What is the model of the anker USB cigarette adapter?
Thank you! It's an Anker Powerdrive 5 5-port USB Charger according to the order form!
The other good thing is it’s easy to move if you change your bike.
100%! New tank ring and it clicks straight on. Love it!

@@SamVBikesSW’s Pro Yukon bags ARE waterproof. I have SW’s Daypack on my RT and am very happy with the size and quality. Ride safe.
Yes! They look a little bit plastic for my liking! Hard to find a fully waterproof one that looks good! Love the Daypack, perfect size for daily use! Ride safe too and thanks for watching
