BASIC Tank Ring - Black (Manufacturer's ref: 516242 00 01) by Hepco & Becker. Designed for the Kawasaki GTR 1000 (1986-2003), this tank ring allows for quick and secure attachment of a Hepco & Becker tank bag while providing access to the fuel cap.
- Contents: BASIC tank ring + adjustable support to be screwed onto the bag according to the shape of the tank and the angle of the handlebars.
- Installation: the bag is placed and locked mechanically with an audible click; unlocking is done by pulling the front strap in the direction of travel.
- Compatibility: specifically designed for the GTR 1000 (1986-2003). The BASIC system is incompatible with Lock‑it supports — both systems must be of the same type.
- Manufacturer's recommendations: maximum advised speed with bag mounted 130 km/h; approximate payload 3 kg. In Germany, no ABE required for this type of bag.
- Difference Lock‑it vs BASIC: the BASIC uses purely mechanical locking; the Lock‑it version adds magnets to assist with centring.
Ideal for touring motorcyclists looking for a discreet and practical attachment, the BASIC ring facilitates daily use without compromising on ease of installation. Check compatibility in your "My Bike" section before installation.
