It’s the SW-Motech evo slipstream.. I was between that and the jetpack.

I went with the slipstream because I preferred the look as well. Loving both tank and tail so far. Both fit my visor for my helmet too! Which for me is a game changer.

I got my bags through twisted throttle they got here in 5 days during this covid-19 shipping crisis so I was very pleased.

I believe this is a 30 as well.. don’t quote me on that though. And I was using a 5L bag previous so I’m absolutely loving the space and the structure/shape of the bag.

I will say that fitting it to the seat is kinda up to you. No certain way for it to be done. Just make it work. Get like 3 different size bungees and I think 4 straps? I used two bungees. one on each grab rail and two straps going to my sub frame. One on each side. Have one spare bungee and two straps left over if I remember correctly and it also comes with backpack straps in case your woman needs a ride.

I like that tail bag too... for "around town" riding I would probably leave the tank bag home and just use the tail bag.

Is it this one?

I’ve been using - an SW-Motech tank bag for a while so thought I’d add some comments to this thread. I chose the SW-Motech EVO 2 Daypack combined with a Type 140 EVO 2 tank ring (TRT.00.640.14000.B).

Based on information from this thread, I decided the Daypack would be a good choice. It’s much smaller than Engage Sport tank bags I’ve owned previously, but the larger bags don’t seem such a good fit on the H2 SX SE. Regular capacity is 5 litres, which is OK for a couple of bottles of water, snacks and bits and pieces you might need during a day ride (it is called Daypack 😊). Capacity can be increased by undoing a zip around the base of the bag and expanding it.

The Daypack fits nicely. It doesn’t block the view of my GPS and there’s no interference while riding. It’s possible that in the expanded 9 litre form my chest or arms could touch the bag, but I haven’t tried that configuration. In either format you won’t be able to crouch below the screen chin-on-tank style, but I haven’t felt a need to do that on this bike and I do have a low screen.

I went for the optional electric adapter. At first, I thought about rigging my own power supply. The electric option seems expensive for a few wires and a relay but it’s worth it for the convenience of fitting or removing the bag without plugging/unplugging electrical connections. The electric kit includes a relay that cuts power when the bag is removed so you don’t have live terminals on the exposed tank ring.
