I bought a street bike totally not set-up for touring, which I fully intend to tour on, and I've been trying to figure out a luggage system for a year that'll work with the upswept exhaust - I really think this could work. I'm super happy right now. I'm disabled which holds my adventures to hotel hopping on pavement - so I do crazier things - like using a 38HP 650 Ural to haul a GS500 Suzuki 1500 miles south in 2012 - or buying a Moto Guzzi V7 Racer to tour on (it's stupid pretty, reminds me of dad's 77 Ducati GTS, and the rearsets somehow fit my long-ass legs better than mid mounts - needs handlebars though). I think I'll be able to tie those side bags in a way where they'll be clear of the upswept pipes and the tail bag (might need the bigger one) should be perfect - and I was looking at the mounting instructions, I'll get an extra heat shield just in case, probably use the narrow bike mounts on the main mount to pull the side bags a bit further from the silencers... I'm willing to gamble it'll work (gotta wait till Spring, gotta sell a bike to pay for some of this, which is better set-up but 20 pounds too heavy while carrying less fuel).
After spending several months researching what adventure bike would suit my needs here in Australia ive settled on the 2023 ktm 890r and spending as much time looking for a setup to carry all my gear around australia these mosko reckless looks like the track im going to go down now its just working out if i will get away with the 40 or will i need the 80 , thanks for the video it definatly helped me make my mind up ... cheers
I'd go with the 80. I got the 40 and I'm sort of regretting it. Trying to figure out how to attach as many Molle pouches as possible to bulk it out. 40 is great for one night, especially if you don't carry much in the way of tools/service stuff.
I'd agree. You can camp out of the 40 but it will be Spartan. I've got tools, bed roll, sleeping bag, tent, tools, inner tube, off bike clothes, waterproofs, light shoes, Helinox camp chair, basic cooking and a couple of boil in the bag meals with this set up and the 22 litre Stinger. I also had the Klim Tactical Vest. That was good for soft, light but fairly bulky stuff. I quite like the packing discipline the 40 gives me. 2 other mates also camped out of 40 plus 22. Splitting out cooking, air pump, tyre irons, some tools and tubes made it do-able.
Looks nice! Does it fit to the Aprilia Tuareg? Do I need to install a rear rack in the Aprilia for the Reckless 40/80? Is the heat shield enough protection in the Aprilia not to burn any plastics?
Hey! Both the Reckless 80 and 40 fit well on the Aprilia Tuareg. The Reckless 80 would benefit from having a rear luggage rack. As long as the heat shield is mounted properly it will work in preventing damage to plastics and the Reckless system. Hope this helps!
Can you please add about the side straps that hold down the side bags. I had no idea that you used them to pull the bags down and not make everything tight. Every few days someone posts a picture with them on a bike with the straps wrong. Now that I know it’s wrong it’s doing my head in. Got the r10 & r40 both are farking amazing.
Hey Gary! We'll have a Reckless 40 installation video soon which will highlight the proper way to use all straps. Thanks for being a part of the Mosko fam.
If I need around 60L of space, is it better for me to have a R40 with the Stinger 22 or to have the R80 with no aux pox and leave the Stinger 22 at home?
Both are great options. It really comes down to personal preference. The R40 is a great way to keep things light and tight. The R80 might offer you more versatility in packing light, but also having the option to pack more for bigger/longer trips. Can't go wrong in our opinion!
I usually prefer it light and tight but in the end I ordered the R80 because I'm uncertain what else I will pack in addition to my ultralight camping gear and because it looks way more comfortable to pack the 25L drybags instead of the 14L ones of the R40. I'll see if the 50L/58L configuration of the R80 fits my needs and if not I might just have to buy an R40 and keep them both! 😁 Thanks for the reply!
Hey Sergio! If you're running a wider rear luggage rack, or want to utilize a larger center bag, you might end up using the wide setting on the R40. If not, the narrow setting fits the DR650 rear fender really well. Hope this helps!
Here you recommend to use the 22l bag longways (with bike).. I have a question on the 30l backcountry. Can it be installed longways(on a 890 rack) aswell do you recommend this.?
Hey Ian! The R80 can be mounted further forward on the seat, but depending on your riding style, you might find it a bit cumbersome while in a standing position. Hope this helps! If you have additional fitment questions reach out to our service team at moskomoto@moskomoto.com
Hey Brad! A fully loaded Stinger 22L nearly maxes out the R40 beavertail. We don't recommend running the 8L & 22L together. A lot of our team runs the 22L Stinger & Tent Pole bag under the R40 beavertail, with room for a jacket or something similar. Hope this helps.
Hey! It's not something we've done ourselves, but both the BC duffle and the 8L Stinger have plenty of attachment points. Shouldn't be difficult to properly secure the Stinger onto the Duffle. :)
@@MoskoMoto I see.. The BC duffle is amazing for the convinient openings thru the sides as well as the top for quick access items, while the sidebags of the R40 fits better for my KLX250 compared to the panniers. I am really hoping to see a system that use the Leg Bags of the R40 + BC 30/40 Duffles in MM store.. Tho I am not entirely sure if the sidebags would be accessible if the BC40 is installed as a tail bag on smaller enduros, maybe BC30 would be more realistic. 🤞🏽
Yes, the heat shield is included. We highly encourage the use of a heat shield no matter the bike unless the bike has traditional pannier racks that will keep the Reckless from coming into contact with the exhaust.
Hey Gabriel! Most 2-up worthy bikes can accommodate the Reckless 40 and a passenger. It's best to mount it further back on a rear luggage plate. :) Hope this helps!
Hey Peter, sorry to hear you had difficulty assembling your Reckless system. You might have done this, but starting with the center bolt makes installing the others a lot easier.
Hey Paul! We don't have a DRZ on hand, so it's tough for us to say. Check out this video of unboxing/mounting the R80, which will be the same for the R40. Hope this helps! ua-cam.com/video/W07-lpkMnaE/v-deo.html
This looks like a great setup for those quick ultralight weekend trips, even on a big bike. In the process of switching out from traditional racks on my GSA to a Reckless setup. I will have to give this a try.
Hey! There is no opening for fuel on the Reckless 40. We have definitely considered putting a fuel hole into the R40, but when we took into account how big the hole had to be, we determined that it would compromise the overall structure, so we didn't move forward with it. The Reckless 80 does have a fuel opening.
@@MoskoMoto Looks like with the Perun tail rack extension you were able to mount the R40 back far enough to have access to the fuel filler. Is that the case? If so I need that rack extension for my 701!
Hey! We haven't fit our Reckless systems on the s1000xr ourselves, but judging from photos we think it will work. :) If you have additional fitment questions reach out to our service team - moskomoto@moskomoto.com
Mine worked faultlessly on my 701 on a standard pipe with the Nomad pannier supports. Also, the non exhaust side has enough room for a tool tube on the inside of the pannier frame. Weighs a couple of kilos max.
Given the sheer number of bikes you could demo the luggage on, it was probably a questionable choice to use a 701 with a stock muffler. Since it's the ONLY thing you specifically say NOT to do. 😂😂😂
I have the Reckless 40L; best money spent! True quality, excellent functionality, utility, and and durability! Worth every cent!
Thanks, Alex! Appreciate the feedback and support a ton!
I also testet the 40 l Reckless for 3 weeks offroad... super!
Awesome, Susanne! Appreciate your support.

Great review. Calm, cool, collected, and concise.
Thanks for the feedback on the video!
Amazing gear.
Thanks, Christoph. Appreciate it a ton. 🤘
Considering this for my AJP PR7
Toss up between this and Kreiga 🤷♂️
Hey Bob! Awesome bike.🤘 Let us know if you have any questions about the R40.

This looks amazing. Does it mount to the new Ducati DesertX?
Hey! Yes, it sure does. Check out these photos in our Help Center:

Great product....does it fit the 2019 Standard Africa Twin
Hey! The R40 does fit the AT, but you will have to remove the passenger grab handles. Hope this helps!

@@MoskoMoto looking forward to this vid as I will be ordering soon. 🍻
cool
We agree!
Looks great, does it fit to KTM ADV 790? Do I need a heatshield?
Yep! Sure does. All of our Reckless systems include 1 x heat shield.
If I need around 60L of space, is it better for me to have a R40 with the Stinger 22 or to have the R80 with no aux pox and leave the Stinger 22 at home?

wich one setting ( narrow or wide) do u recommend for my Dr 650?
Hey Sergio! If you're running a wider rear luggage rack, or want to utilize a larger center bag, you might end up using the wide setting on the R40. If not, the narrow setting fits the DR650 rear fender really well. Hope this helps!
Great system will the 40 fit the 2022 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S?
Hey Anders! It sure will. 💪
Here you recommend to use the 22l bag longways (with bike)..
I have a question on the 30l backcountry. Can it be installed longways(on a 890 rack) aswell do you recommend this.?
Hey Carlos, as long as the duffle is secure, you can mount it whichever way works best for you. 👌
Still looking for the Reckless 40 Install Video - when do you think it will be out?
Hey John! It's in the works. In the meantime, you can watch the R80 video. Unboxing + installation for both are pretty much identical.
On my ktm 690 can I scoot the bags forward a bit and still use my rotopax fuel tank on my tail rack?
Hey Ian! The R80 can be mounted further forward on the seat, but depending on your riding style, you might find it a bit cumbersome while in a standing position. Hope this helps! If you have additional fitment questions reach out to our service team at moskomoto@moskomoto.com
Wich Mosko Moto accesories would work with RECKLESS 50 MOLLE PANEL
Our Small, Medium, and Large MOLLE Pouches would work great with the Reckless 40L!
Can you stuff a stinger 22 tail bag as well as the stinger 8L inside the beaver tail?
Hey Brad! A fully loaded Stinger 22L nearly maxes out the R40 beavertail. We don't recommend running the 8L & 22L together. A lot of our team runs the 22L Stinger & Tent Pole bag under the R40 beavertail, with room for a jacket or something similar. Hope this helps.
can I attach a 30L duffle backcountry as a tail bag? and put the 8L dry bag on top of it?

Is the heat shield included or is it purchased separately? Is it necessary to put it with the R40 on a Tiger 1200 RE?
Yes, the heat shield is included. We highly encourage the use of a heat shield no matter the bike unless the bike has traditional pannier racks that will keep the Reckless from coming into contact with the exhaust.
Can you fit 2 people on a Norden 901 with the Reckless 40?
Hey Gabriel! Most 2-up worthy bikes can accommodate the Reckless 40 and a passenger. It's best to mount it further back on a rear luggage plate. :) Hope this helps!
You guys couldn’t make the bolts just 2mm longer?? The grey straps make that third bolt so difficult to screw on. Should’ve accounted for that
Hey Peter, sorry to hear you had difficulty assembling your Reckless system. You might have done this, but starting with the center bolt makes installing the others a lot easier.
Will mosko moto reckless 40 fits in Honda CRF 250L?
The R40 fits the 250 great!
What setting would you fix this on for a DRZ?

Could this setup work on a big bike such as an Africa Twin?
Yes! The newest version of our Reckless 40L has a "wide" setting to accommodate bigger bikes.

It’s not allowed on a KTM or Husky 690/701. the original exhaust is too hot 😢 got the Info from mosko moto EU.
Mine worked faultlessly on my 701 on a standard pipe with the Nomad pannier supports. Also, the non exhaust side has enough room for a tool tube on the inside of the pannier frame. Weighs a couple of kilos max.
Given the sheer number of bikes you could demo the luggage on, it was probably a questionable choice to use a 701 with a stock muffler. Since it's the ONLY thing you specifically say NOT to do. 😂😂😂
That's a sharp eye you have there! This, of course, was for demonstration purposes only.
