    Alex, I do hope your personal hygiene is better than that of your stead or the only thing you’re going to be cocking your long shank over is that manky thing.

    What is this - International Pick on Lambeth Day? You've affected me with issues now. I could sue you and this and that.

    No. I've told you. Friday is normally Gary's. he's missing presumed fed, we all drew straws and you're in the barrel. It's the law.

    You can’t sue when you have posted evidence in favour of the prosecution and even if you could it would be the moderators in the dock, and as for changing, na, I have always been fickle, but, true to my beliefs and the absolute honour of my word. Your smoked garlic will be procured next week mate and not before time because when your Mrs smells it and you, you will be banished to the garage so you might as well clean that bike whilst you are in there mate.

    This is ridiculous. I'm new! Plus you're a pair of ****** parochial *****! So you should get down here and clean my ******* bike yourselves, you *******! And be ****** grateful! Midnight blue and silver (apparently. It's hard to see under all the filth)! They don't grow on trees, you know! ****!




    See? Told you I had issues.

    How did I do? I watched the Danny Dyer thing twice?

    Right then, got home tonight and found my Kreiga gear has rocked up.

    Just had a quick look-see before the Kids bath time routine etc and looked at how the straps fit under the seat and round the rear subframes.

    I assuming getting the light tan straps around the sub-frames requires the tail piece to be removed?

    Can't see anyone outside of a 3 year old having fingers small enough to thread it otherwise?

    I have the same problem mate! After fitting the new race tail, there's no way and no where to attach the straps to the subframe!

    I made some templates for steel brackets, and megawatt is making me some out of steel, to thread the webbing through.
    when I've got them, I'll post up pics incase you want a set making ?

    I know I could just run the straps straight under the seat but that's giving the seat fixings a fair bit or responsibility aint it?

    It is mate, you are just relying on the lock and the bit of plastic that goes in the subframe. I've carried the us20 and us10 using just the seat, but I was a bit paranoid with having 30 litres of gear relying on the seat lock.

    Managed to fit the loops fairly easily once the rear tail section is off (Once I'd remembered to take the feckin KEY OUT!) :mad:

    Straps down OK but as the loops wrap under the ledge of the seat you still get some rocking/movement that wouldn't be there if there were dedicated loop hooks under the tail section.
    Could do with someone making a Bike specific bracket system like the ventura one but for Kreiga gear, they're missing a trick here I feel.
    Below is it setup as just a 30 and a 10 on top, will try it out tonight with 2 x US10 strapped to the side of the 30.

    Toured with mine like that last year mate, US20 on top of a 30 didn't have an issue although agree there's some movement. Is that a 10 on a 30?

    Haven't got a picture of the 10 with it fitted to hand, but the 929 below with the 30 and 20. Did over 1200 miles like this for work last year.

    did you loop yours to the sub frame? makes it much more sturdy... and worth taking the rear fairing off for imo. once done they stay there and are tucked away when in normal use....

    i also found that changing the strap configuration helps. Strap the top of the 10 to the main hooks, and strap the 30 to the 10 (if that makes sense) that way you are anchoring from the top of the bags and you can pull them tight together. had no movement issues once i done this.

    i'll see if i can find some pics.

    Here you go...

    It's prob not the proper way to do it, but big improvement on stability
