Is anyone using the Kriega tail bag? I definitely don't want to put anything on the tank. But I'm wondering what people use for longer rides. I know they have several sizes (5L, 10L, 30L). What has been your experience with it? It seems like the 5L would have enough for a day trip and would be pretty low profile.
I use a Kriega back back. It's excellent but I can't comment on a bike mounted bag. The construction of Kriega stuff is absolutely excellent. Top notch but you pay for it.
I have a couple of bags for my CBR but have taken them off as they don't do anything for the aesthetics of the bike and, with the 959, I will be sticking to a back pack unless I really see a need to pack for a long trip.
I have the Kriega US5 (5L) which is more than enough if you ask me. I carry a bottle of water, my wallet, patch kit and some ofther little odds and ends. Went through some down pour and to my surprise the contents was kept dry. 10L would be a bit too much for what you are asking for. In my opionion it's the best looking but also functions to carry enough.
Not my picture but just to give you an illustration of how it fits.
Thanks! I think I will get one of those. I don't like wearing a backpack. So you just take the seat off, run those straps under the seat and then put the seat back on? Do you use the "passenger strap" that is under the passenger seat?
The Cortech Dryver Tail Bag works great on the 959 and I've used it for some longer rides when I've need to carry a flat repair kit and other sundry items.
I was going to post some pics this weekend so you could see the Dryver in action, but today while trailering my 959 home from the dealer (after its running-in service) my pillion seat flew off (a not uncommon problem?) and was lost on the freeway. I've ordered the seat cowl and will noodle over how to best attach a tail bag to it and if I come up with anything that works I'll let you know.
Purchased the Kriega US5 today. No ideas how to securely mount the thing, no obvious subframe points under the seat, and the clips etc push the seat up so it mounts badly. I'm wary of strapping to the seat as the seat itself doesn't anchor that well. Apparently it's a breeze on the 899.
I'm not 100% sure, but has been matched up as best as possible.
A friend of mine has made them up for me.
Had the same on my 899 but was different colour.(Close but not the same).
Yes it is.....in fact all 3 live inside:grin2:.......and funny u mention the cold start issue.....it happened to me when I first got the bike and then nothing for over 3000kms........pulled it out the other week and it had starting issues. I believe It's got nothing to do with outside temps.
Your from Perth as well........let's exchange numbers if u want to join up for a ride.?
