No problem, I contacted both as I didn't realize that it was the very same construction. Now I hope that I can exchange the Givi ring for the one by SW-Motech.

Sorry for being late for the party  ;D

May I add a link that points you toward a 3-D printed design.

https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/verschiedene/energica-esseesse9-tank-gepaecktraeger

There are service providers all around who could print this for you.

Personally I am not fond of tank bags. But if someday I change my mind I probably would buy a Kriega tank strap on which you can affix the Kriega bags. They have different sizes available. Unfortunately they are very expensive.

Thanks for chiming in. I stumbled upon that in my search but didn't consider it because I had doubts about the general stability and the UV resistance. May not be an issue with a small & light bag and the right stuff to print this from.

By choosing the right printing material your concerns can be addressed.
If you contact a 3D-printing service, just led them know what you need. There are different materials available.
For example ASA (Acrylnitril-Styrol-Acrylat-Copolymere) appear to be a good choice, it is expressly UV stable.

Thanks for the information on the materials available for 3D printing. As I am already in contact with Marchel from electricmotorbikes.nl who offer/s a variant in powder coated aluminum that looks like it can be modified quite easily to hold the Evo ring system by SW-Motech, I will go that route. Still good to know that I obviously tended to underestimate the quality of 3D-printed solutions.

I think you are right questioning the sturdiness of 3D prints and the design for this special purpose. I admit, I cannot vouch for the design I posted the link of.

What we absolutely don't want is our phone & wallet holding tank bag suddenly breaking loose at 140 km/h on the highway.  ???
So, I can totally understand you preferring something made of metal.

Hallo Urs

I am in Switzerland and have the original tank bag for the SS9. I does not fit my Experia and you can have it.

In case you are interested let me know.

Hi Hans Jürgen,

Thanks for your offer, I do prefer, however, a solution for my existing SW-Motech bags based on a permanent mount made of aluminum. I have ordered the one with Givi adapter available from electricmotorcycles.nl and will modify it.

Cheers, Urs
