Tank Locker Installation Instructions

and Additional Information

THANK YOU for your interest in and purchase of the most unique and revolutionary motorcycle tank bag in the industry. Unlike strapped or magnetic bags, Tank Locker is a model specific component system installed on the fuel tank of your bike. These instructions along with the information provided will help you understand the unique features of this product. We urge you to retain these papers and have them stay with the product in the event you sell or trade this system to someone else. The serial number and application information will remain in our database.

The Tank Locker component system includes;

  • tank bag equipped with the perimeter attachment zipper

  • serial numbered base plate with perimeter zipper and attached mount collar

  • gas tank mounted lock ring assembly including the push-pin lock

  • two (2) lock keys

  • stainless steel mount bolts (3 or 4 depending on application)

  • allen wrench for tightening the provided mount bolts

The tank mounted lock collar comes pre-drilled in the bolt pattern specific to the application. Before we begin the simple installation, please lay the lock ring over your gas cap assembly and, by centering the gas cap cutout and aligning the drilled holes, you can determine which 3 or 4 bolts you’ll be removing.

As with the installation of anything….please proceed slowly and don’t be in a hurry. This is VERY easy and simple to install, but until you are familiar with how it mounts and works, just take it easy and don’t rush it through. An extra 5 minutes spent in this process beats waiting another week for the replacement part you had to buy to arrive by mail.

We suggest you remove (unzip) the bag from the baseplate so you aren’t dealing with the bulk of the bag while you install this.

1. Remove the bolts matching the drilled pattern in the gas tank mounted lock ring assembly from the perimeter mount flange of your bike’s gas cap.

2. Place the lock ring assembly over the gas cap. Mate the pre-drilled mount flange down against the gas cap assembly mount ring, making certain the push-pin lock cylinder is at the 3 o’clock position if you were looking down on it from sitting in the seat. Using the bolts provided with the product, insert the bolts through the pre-drilled holes and bolt the ring in position around the gas cap using the bike’s factory mount holes.

3. NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS AGAINST THE LOCK COLLAR. THIS IS A PLASTIC PIECE. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO CRACK OR COMPROMISE THE LOCK RING BY OVER TIGHTENING THE BOLTS IN THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. MAKE CERTAIN THEY’RE SNUG, BUT NOT OVERTIGHTENED.

4. Place the system baseplate over the lock collar pointed in the 11 o’clock position. Press the baseplate mount collar into the tank mounted lock collar until you feel it “bottom out”. Carefully turn the baseplate CLOCKWISE until it points straight ahead or you can’t turn it any further. Press the lock-pin button and you now lock the rings together, preventing the baseplate from being turned counterclockwise and unlocked from the lock collar mount pins.

5. To remove the baseplate…unlock the push pin lock with the key provided. Turn the key clockwise approximately 90 degrees or until you hear the lock “snap”. Turn the baseplate COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the 11 o’clock position or until it turns no further. Gently pull the baseplate STRAIGHT UP, disengaging the baseplate from the tank mounted lock ring. It may be necessary to slightly “wiggle” the unit as you pull up on it to help slip it out of the collar.

6. Reattach (zip) the bag back on the baseplate.

If you have any questions, problems, issues, or uncertainties about installation or use of this product, PLEASE call us. 888.414.2903 Believe me, I know all too well what it’s like to not understand or be uncertain about the installation or use of something you never saw before. NOTHING is more frustrating. We want you to get this installed and use it. IF it’s not going on or working as it should, then ring our phone. Anytime. We’re going to be more upset than you are if we find out you had some problem and didn’t contact us.

Your satisfaction with the product and installing it is more important than our sleep or watching a re-run of Seinfield. We’re here to do whatever it takes to make certain you are happy with our products.

Important Key Information: We provide you with two keys for your Tank Locker system. PLEASE DON’T LOSE THEM. The reality here is that if you lose the key on a trip and can’t remove the Tank Locker…you can’t put gas in your bike. We looked at some emergency way to remove the thing, but…it can’t be done without a serious compromise of the systems integrity. Just make sure you have a key with you. IF the unthinkable happens, call us and we’ll Fed Ex you a key overnite. It’s going to cost you, but….worst case scenario is you get to spend a night in an out-of-the-way motel with a too small drip coffee maker and powdered creamer in the room while you await the arrival of the Fed Ex man and your Tank Locker replacement key. Not much fun.
