Custom Tank Bag Accessories

Touratech bag before modifications Touratech tank bag as purchased except for Powerlet ports installed on each side. Removable map case attaches to top of bag with Velcro. I needed to find a solution for staying hydrated while I ride since I seem to get dehydrated at the drop of a hat.
Water reservoir insert for Touratech Bag I created a water reservoir section to be inserted between the tank bag and map case. It has Velcro on both the top and bottom to firmly sandwich it between the tank bag and map case, a zipper in the front to insert a water reservoir, and Velcro hook on both sides for attaching things.
Touratech bag with reservoir - back side This shows the water reservoir insert with a CamelBak water reservoir. I've used both 35 oz. and 50 oz. reservoirs and they both fit well in the pocket. I have to be careful how I loop the tube so water flows easily. The bite valve is easy to get to and use while riding. Only change I've made - after losing my water reservoir when a strong wind gust caught it and yanked it out on the highway in New Brunswick last summer I now keep an S hook through both zipper pulls to lock them together and prevent this from happening again.
Custom Case Bags - right side Communication radio attached on the side and Autocom cord secured to side of water reservoir case. The Velcro loop on the cable is loose so the cord can slide through it.
Custom Case Bags - left side Velcro loop is on the tube close to the CamelBak bite valve.
Tank bag organizer The mess inside the tank bag was driving me crazy so I made an insert with stiffener in it so it wouldn't fold over, and 4 mesh pockets to hold smaller items. The back has a wide strip of Velcro loop to hold it on to the inside wall of the tank bag.
Tank bag rain cover bag I like my tank bag cover in my tank bag so it's handy if suddenly caught in a rain storm. The cover has a see through plastic top (so you can see your map) that I worry about ruining so I made a bag to hold it that's the shape of the floor of the tank bag. I made it bright yellow so my tank bag isn't such a black hold anymore. When this is in place most of the wiring for my electronics is under this bag so I don't see it.
Inside of tank bag with organizers Insert attached to left wall of tank bag with Velcro, tank bag cover in yellow bag on bottom, and still a lot of room for spare gloves, snacks, and other things.
Inside of tank bag with organizer Without tank bag cover bag.
R1200 GSA and backpack mounting system Jean-Francois likes to use his backpack as a tank bag since he carries his camera in it and wants to be able to easily remove it at stops. I made a harness that attached below the seat and up at the steering column that has a hole through it for access to the fuel tank. The stays on the motorcycle and is made to not damage the tank. The backpack secures with buckles that easily release at the top only at fuel stops so the bag can be pushed out of the way when fueling and the bag can be completely removed at stops.
Electronics insert for backpack Not the most elegant creation, but this was finished about 1:00 AM the morning we were leaving on a 12,000 mile trip. Stiff back with pockets positioned to hold satellite radio receiver, cell phone, MP3 player, Autocom radio, and communication radio. This insert slides into the bakcpack shown above so all the electronics are organized and easily accessible.
