Seeking recommendations for tank bag for '99 K1200RS. Have searched the threads and unsure whether recommendations for other models will work with my bike (can you tell I am a newbie?). Thanks

So, my recommendation comes a little late.
I bought my K1600GT used with a small tank bag that is mounted on a ring around the filler cap. Upon research I found out the make is SW Motech, a brand very popular in Europe/Germany and difficult to find here.
The bag was a "day bag" with very little capacity. But the mounting system allows for really large bags with more capacity that I can ever use. I ordered a bag of about 6 gallons on line, which includes the top mounting ring, the one that is attached to the bag.
With the bottom ring on the tank, I can change within 10 seconds from one bag to the other. The contour of the large bag follows the shape of the tank perfectly. Best tank bag system I have seen.
... the weight is taken by the tank ring.
