Bagster-how long to "break in"

dcd87 · Mar 21, 2017

Just fitted a bagster cover to 1150gsa.

To be honest it looks like it it is going to take a few days to break in. Question is how long does it normally takes as it looks like a bag of s*** currently.

Although it is on and fitted correctly there are bits of loose material that look like they will flatten out once it has been tightened up a few times.

when i fitted mine on my previous GSA i had to heat it up minimally with a hairdryer as otherwise there was no way it could have fitted! after that it was ok, but otherwise not a chance

I have one fitted to my GSA. It don't fit perfect but, neither do my bike clothes so, as long as it covers and protects, I'm happy.

As said you have to warm it up to fit properly.

Put it in the airing cupboard overnight.

Unless you have access to a heated garage/conservatory, the bike just needs to stand out in the sun for a while, once spring decides to arrive. Then gently tighten the straps down, but don't be tempted to overdo it as this alone can distort the shape. Be patient - these tank covers offer up great protection when touring & last for years.
