Lonerider, I think it would fasten on most bikes, but I see that your tank is very narrow. I'm not sure if the forward strap would reach around your steering column - not without some problem solving anyway.
At the front of the bag there is a harness which would go around your steering column. These can be undone quickly with quick releases. To secure it at the back it comes with two female attachments hooked up to heavy duty zip ties.
These you attach to the frame somewhere between the tank and the pegs. You then use the male attachments which are on the end of stretchy "ROK" straps to secure it. I can post some pictures tomorrow if you'd like me to.

Thanks
It looks good and yeah I think you are right about the strap to go around the head, might need a bit of doctoring to go round
Cheers

Tested the bag 1 week in French, italian and Swiss Alps. As pic shows, I've got a Safari tank which is high and got a giant cover With drain hose. Still worked ok as it's soft enough to flex.
But didn't work great when riding as stomach touched when riding aggressive (as much as deared With T63/K60) on the road and restricted when standing.
But found work-around for this, took the rear straps through the handle (for carrying) which pushed the rear of the bag a bit down making it just low enough that it wasn't a problem any more. Now works great
Had heavy rain for couple of days but inside stayed totally dry. Easy to take on/off. Really like the divider and the inside pocket under the cover, my Garmin Montana fit perfectly there.
Also love the map pocket, really convenient ripping it off when we had breaks/food to look at the map and plan. And maps stayed dry.
All in all very happy

I got myself the Enduristan 3S and it fits on the bike ok. The only problem I have is that if I set if forward on the tank it catches on the Montana and if I set too far to the rear to compensate it gets in the way a bit when riding on the pegs

I also have the Enduristan Sandstorm 3S. It's a great design but is not holding up terribly well to wear. I've done two five week trips with it mounted and in that time two of the adjustment straps have parted company with the body, and there's quite dramatic wear around the top.
