Hi Guys, New here. Go easy. I am looking at the Givi range of tank lock bags for my Bird, but Givi don't seem to do a corresponding locating tank lock flange to go around the Blackbird fuel cap to secure the bag although some bike retailers have suggested that flange kit BF03 will indeed fit as it fits most other Hondas. I emailed Givi for confirmation and got a shitty reply (see below), so now ask the great brains of the forum if they or they know anyone who has indeed managed to fit a Givi tank lock QR bag to their Blackbird? It beggars belief that one of the best touring bikes is not catered for by a leading luggage manufacturer and they have no plans to assist by producing one which should be pretty simple.
Btw here is Givi's reply to my enquiry: Great customer service!
They couldn't give a monkeys or monokeys ...........
Does anyone have any experience of Oxford's QR tank bags? Will their QR mechanism fit to the Bird tank and if so which attachment ring do I need - type 3?
Cheers guys, hoping that some one will at least be able to offer a solution.

Good Afternoon and thank you for your email.
I note your interest in the Givi tanklock system. I would advise that we do not currently produce a tanklock fitting that is compatible with the 07 model of the Honda Blackbird.
We do not recommend that a tanklock fitting made for a different make / model / year of motorcycle is forced to fit as not only will this compromise the integrity of the fitting but it may also prove hazardous as it may cause fuel to leak from the filler cap.
At Givi we offer a multitude of different luggage options. If you would care to take a look at the Givi.co.uk website, you may find an alternative to the tanklock system that may prove suitable for your needs.
Thank you for contacting Givi UK.
