Kriega OS Base - Honda Africa Twin - Waterproof Soft Luggage System

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I've been a fan of Kriega luggage for some time and have previously fitted the OS Base to my KTM 790 Adventure. Kriega has now released the same system for the Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L, and as I still have the bike on loan from Honda, they lent me one to demonstrate.
In this short video, I'll go through the installation process, look at luggage arrangement options and why I think this is such a versatile set-up.

    Cheers Marcus, I think the good thing is that you can move the luggage from bike to bike, so far mines been on a Tiger 800, KTM 790 adventure and an Africa Twin

    @@mancavemoto 💯 As I do have a couple of different bikes for different purposes. From a fully kitted race bike (not that I will be carrying luggage on that thing or the next) to a specific dirt only bike. However a couple in between these two for road use, where I can swap them around. Do the add on luggage work on different bike specific straps and holding devices for various bikes as this could seal the purchase.

    Great video Tony, comprehensive as ever. I think the modular way Kriega kit comes together is excellent and the quality is also at the top range. My buddy is a Kriega fan too where I've gone for the #moskomoto and we constantly contrast and compare the benefits of each; I think it comes down to personal preference in the end as we appreciate many features of each.

    I have same debate as to whether to go with Mosko Moto, Kriega or Giant Loop. All seem to be of high quality. In my case (have a 2018 Vstrom DL650) I already have a givi top case and so this Kriega OS 36 systems seems like it will work well. I've since ordered from RevZilla and will see how this all works out.

    Good question, possibly the one for the KTM 1290 would be closest fit, given where the bottom straps have to reach to. Best bet is to e-mail Krista, they are normally pretty good and responding and I imagine its a question they have been asked before

    I have recently bought a new CB1000R and am going for a 7-day trip in the summer holiday. I have a US-30 and a US-10 bag for several years and bought one extra US-30 last year. So now I am wondering if I can use 2 US-30 bags on the OS base? otherwise I will have to buy 2 extra US-20 bags to have a 70 ltr storage combo. Thanks Steve

    I'm very interested in the level of motorcycle protection this system offers. Does anyone has laid down AT on the side with these Kriega system? I thing the exhaust is not very well protected in such cases. In addition you can't take a pillion :(

  • @mancavemoto

    Жыл бұрын

    Its not going to offer much protection, but then its not designed to. If the bag is fully packed it might help though. You can still get a pillion on at a pinch if need be (assuming theres no tail bag) but again its not designed for that. Its all about keeping the luggage nice and close to the bike. Filtering is the same at not having any luggage on, and its up and out of the way for offroad riding and water crossings etc

    It is a brilliant bit of kit however the only complaint i have is they rub against the body work badly, the protective film is only for the black AT for some reason so if you have the red like myself there are huge cut outs in the protective film, it also rubs in multiple other unprotected areas, if you intend on getting your bike scuffed up it's great however if you want to go off road etc but still keep your body work relatively good looking this will over time ruin it, i still use my kit but find i have to drape a towel or something over the areas where the kits rests, and it only works for 1 trip as the cloth is then filthy and if you put it back on you'll be rubbing dirt and grit against your paint, looking to get the sw motech panniers now which has the quick remove mounting kit aswell so i dont have to have scaffolding on my bike when im going for a local ride
