Tailbag: Kriega US-10 Drypack

[ChipBeck_imp]

I wanted a small bag just to carry a few items on my rides like a water bottle, snacks, maybe a light rain jacket. Kept checking out different bags but didn't like a lot of the mounting systems until I took a closer look at the Kriega system of straps.

This is one of their smaller bags which suits my needs and they do have larger units plus you can piggy back small bags on the top of the larger bags.



When empty the bag has a low profile so its easy to swing your leg over the seat (I used to ride a BMW R1200RT and had to be careful not to kick the tops of the big saddlebags). Those silver alloy clips connect the bag to the mounting straps. The straps on the bag itself also have quick release buckles.



The adjustable mounting straps wrap around the conveniently located subframe under the CB1100 seat. You could also just connect the straps together and loop them under the seat.



The nice thing is that you can quickly detach the bag itself from the straps, leave the straps mounted and tuck them underneath the seat.



There are a bunch of less expensive tail or seat bags but their mounting systems of straps wrapped around passenger pegs, etc. didn't look too secure. The Kriega system seems robust as well as versatile.

(Yes, that is a Staintune and if you get one you won't regret it.)

Huladog,

I just got my Staintune and I noticed something in your photo above. The tab that is welded to the top of your Staintune that bolts to the rear peg mount is suppose to go behind the rear peg brace and you have it in front of the peg brace. Rotate it so that it bolts to the rear of the brace and it will hide that tab and look better. Cheers bro.
