After a 30 minute google search the best information I can find suggests that the

GIVI Compatibility Flange BF05

Should work with the 2014 ES and the Givi Tank Lock (tank bags)

Does anyone use Givi Tank Lock on the 2014 + S10?

Thanks

I've looked around a bit and the only tank lock bag I've seen is the SW Motech one. I specifically looked at Givi as well - obviously my search efforts were weak :-\

I have a 2014 ES and use a Givi tank lock bag with the BF05 adapter. Works great.

FYI.....the Givi Trekker Outback rack and cases also fit very well on the 2014 ES. ::008::

Where did you guys buy your GIVI tank bags? I like the 3D603 but my Iphone 6+ won't fit into the phone holder part of the bag.

I have the Givi XS308 -- I used it on my previous bike, and can not recall where I purchased it. Works great on the Super Tenere, but I have no idea if an Iphone 6 would fit in one of the pockets.

I have two Givi Tank Lock tank bags that I have used for a year +

1. GIVI TANK BAG 3D TANKLOCK 15LT 3D604 (Should work as it is sold to hold an iPad mini)

2. GIVI 3D603 Range Tank Bag 3D603 (should hold a 4s or 5s)

Amazon has photos and reviews

I also use the BF05 Givi tank lock ring on a 2014. I use the KAPPA TK763 tankbag on it (Givi and Kappa stuff interchangeable) and I have the Givi Trekker Outback boxes both sides and top. No complaints, happy with them.

The 6+ is close to a small tablet size you ;look for a bag with a map pocket rather than a phone pocket. I have the 3D603 and it barley fits my Galaxy S3.

Video review here :)

Givi 3D603 Tank Bag Review
Yeah, I watched that vid yesterday - very helpful. I'm not too worried about fitting the phone. It would be nice but not a deal breaker. Technically, I don't need to be looking down there when riding anyway. I like that bag because usually all I need is something to hold my phone, wallet, sunglasses, hat, ear plugs and maybe some small misc items I don't want in my pockets. I have this fear of going down with keys or a multitool in my pocket and having it jammed into my body in the event. ???

The sunglasses tray is the best part IMO. I'm always worried about them getting crushed and hate having to use a bulky case for them.

I'm very close to buying this one but since I have no immediate need (won't be riding much until spring) I'll try to wait patiently. Maybe they'll release an updated version suited for the newer phablet phones.

I agree I don't even use the phone pocket. One reason is you have to look down to far to see it. I don't like taking my eyes off the road that long. Since my Garmin 590 can show me all the information I might need my phone for its better off just in the main compartment of the bag.
