I have the Helibars riser kit which also shifts the bars back. Does anyone have experience with which tanklock bags will fit and not obstruct the bars. I just want a small (4-6L) bag and tried one from Cycle Gear (Reax?) and it had a fixed lock mount on the bottom with no fore-aft adjustment to clear the bars.

Are you sure it’s not adjustable, my GIVI bag has the locking mechanism secured to the bottom of the bag with 4 small self threading screws, I simply removed the screws and slid the bag back an inch or so then re installed the screws making new holes.
The installation instructions never mentioned anything like that but that’s what I did and it’s been working fine for years.

Thanks for the reply. The Reax bag I tried from Cycle Gear did not appear to have that adjustability. 1703170679172.png
