Kriega attachment straps

[Pepsie]

Where do you attach the straps?

I tried putting them on the top box rack but, they move around quite a bit here. Can’t seem to really get them seated tightly enough.

I had the same problem with my 1250GS, not sure what your bike is

I bought this kit from them but the location of the loops were still a bit out for my needs. It places the bags farther back to keep the seat clear, not an issue for me.

Kriega are only 18 miles from me so I called in and got 4 extra straps, which they gave me for free so I could keep the fitting kit complete

2 x 50mm bolt-on loops
2 X 65mm bolt-on loops

These worked out perfectly, shorter ones on the rear to avoid the aluminium hook touching and the longer ones on the front. Work great with either a US10 or 20
Washer inside the fixed to bike loop. Stay on all the time. Rock solid and easy on/off

Doesn't interfere with the vario cases

Was just trial and error

That’s very neat!! I wish they made those for mine. I’ve got an S1000XR 2016.

I may see if I can work something with the OS loops if they fit through the transport rack but not very hopeful. May just have it moving around slightly.

If you have g-hooks on the straps, loop them around the rack and clip them onto themselves. When tightened up they should stay in place and not move.

Are there no convenient bolt heads on the S1000XR you can use?

Buy a length of webbing on eBay and have someone sew up some simple loops. Burn the hole for the bolt with a soldering iron.

Damn, this may be the way. On my way! to try it out

Kriega sell the "OS loops" I may be trying to bolt those somewhere.

If you ring them, they are based on Deeside Industrial estate, near Chester, they may send you 4 of the straps as in the kit
Find 4 suitable bolts on your bike to fix them to...maybe easier than buying webbing and having to get a loop sewn
They has different lengths all stored in a massive wall rack in the stores, so they are available to them outside of a boxed kit
I found them really helpful

Another vote for speaking direct with Kriega. I also needed some spares a while ago, and they sent them out to me FOC. Proper customer service. Now I just wish I hadn’t sold my US5 and US20 bags . They would do nicely for my Triumph.

I’m gonna try, unfortunately need it by Friday so will probably use the hooking onto itself solution for now. Thank you!

They better have proper CS for the price they charge , I bought some knock-off US10 bags to attach as I wasn’t going to pay £100 for one, they’re really good from AliExpress and only around £10 each, attached a pic for comparison

I have a virtually new US-20 in the sales section.

After seeing the cost of Kriega’s little loops I’ve always just made own. Short length of any old spare webbing, seal the ends with a waft of heat from a lighter, fold in half and push a heated bradawl through to make a hole of the right size for your chosen bolt. Add a small washer top and bottom of the webbing and bolt down. Bingo you have a small loop for your g-hook. Cost is either free or a few pence depending on where you got you webbing from.

the G hooks came partially undone once, but that may have been due to the border patrol guy fiddling with it, and me not rechecking them after
