Kriega is not cheap BUT 10 year guarantee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is worth it weight in gold. I have the R25 backpack which is use all the time on a off the bike. Taking it to the US in 3 week time. Also have the R3 waistpack which is great. OK £45 for a bum bag is a lot but again 10 years warranty. 100% waterproof and used for my Euro touring and was great. Enough room for my wallet, Passport, mobile and camera.
Bagster isn't cheap either, but are excellent quality, and the tank cover are made to measure for your specific bike. I've had one for 4 years & love it. Kriega kit doesn't have a map window. Check eBay for a cut price bargain.
the kriega us30 tail bag is a brill bit of kit, the new model has better straps that stay fitted to the subframe and can be left under the pillion seat when not in use.
I went with a Givi tanklock bag on my 2011 Blade as I commute on it weather permitting, works a treat and no mucking about with straps, I got the T489 but you can go bigger...GIVI T489 Tanklock Tank Bag, you will need the correct tank ring as well, tad pricy though. ...Mike
i got a givi T480 for my 2004 Blade and i find that even with with it tanklock adjusted all the way back to get the bag as far forward as it will go its a bit of a stretch i also tried a GIVI TPH02 the very small one and it was the same. So i was wondering is the fuel filler cap farther forward on the tank on a 2011 Blade than on a 2004 Blade
