On my T7 I use the 2 12L, the Large tail bag, and the 2 6L, I’m trying to outfit R1250 GSA. Beautiful setup for sure, stay safe and ride on.

I have had Kriega “stuff” for a few years. It really is top gear and takes abuse, then shrugs it off and just carries on. Great real world review. 👍

The best overview presentation for Kriega bags.

Great review of the modular versatility of the KriegaOS! Thanks mate, ride safe👍

[@RolfAalders]

That's a solid, well thought through system. I love that you can fully customize it.

I have the exact same setup, and use it the exact same way (rack pack attached at the front to the saddle, and at the back to a compact rear rack. Very easy to unclip if you need to go inside a hotel room, and the saddle unstraps quickly too with bags attached to it still. I ran two BDRs for 4200 miles off road last June, crashed plenty of times, dragged the bike through mud and over rocks and these bags have been tough as nail, they look brand new (aside from some slight dirt, even after a wash). I love that system, and the combination of crash bar bags and the 18 liters on the sides even save your legs in a crash, like little cushions.

Probably the best review I've seen on this set up biddy, thank you 👍🏻

[@skybluetenere]

Very valuable overview Steve 👍🏼 I just like to add that the OS-bags are available in 22, 32 and 38 L versions, too.

[@pavelshchors]

Thanks a lot, your review is an inspiration. I was hesitating between kriega and throwing a fortune at mosko moto. But when I found out that you use exactly the same setup that I imagined for myself - I'm convinced to get kreiga. See you off the roads:)

Brilliant review. Cheers from Australia!

[@minds4game]

Your video has made my decision much easier. Going to try and copy your set-up on my Tenere. Hope Kriega sponsors you.

[@stevesabandar8260]

Great review! I choose Kriega just because of the modular possibilities: two 6 liter bags for daytrips, two 12 liter bags and a US20 for multi day campingtrips on my 690, but looking at the 18 liter bags to replace the 12 liter because it packs lower on the bike. The base plate accepts all of them.

Fantastic video, thank you, I have Kriega OS12 and 18 bags, but I didn't know they did bottle bags. The US 40 looks interesting as well. Subscribed.

[@jama604]

Great review thanks. I would be really interested if you could do a breakdown of your kit list and what you pack where for a longer trip, including your backpack, cooking gear, sleep system and so on. Oh and tools!

[@danielw.9090]

I’ve researched and seen reviews aplenty, Kriega is the system for me. Wish they made a system for my Kawasaki KLR 650 specific though. Good vid, thanks👍🏾

[@bnordin66able]

Also have the Kriega os-base system with the 18 liters and a us 40 on top.

[@travistandy3839]

Another top video my friend. Keep them coming.

[@Stig4n]

Thanks for showing. Like some commenters, I have a wide variety of the Kriega US bags, as this was and still is the most adjustable system without permanent frames/panniers. Especially when you have a naked bike (like my old Bandit) with which you go on tour.

[@parf2665]

Very informative 👏👍

Nice vidoe thank you for sharing
