Not everyone wants top boxes and hard panniers. Nor does it suit every motorbike.
So what’s the answer when you want to go touring and have a few nights away?
We are fans of Kriega (Drypack) tail bags, Rackpacks and Backpacks and we stock a wide range.
The Drypacks and Rackpack that strap on to the motorbike are universal fit for street, modern classic, adventure touring and sports bikes and they are waterproof. Some Backpacks are also waterproof.
Daniel Williams, our parts, clothing and accessories manager, said “Kriega offers a range of quality products popular with riders who need carrying capacity but not all the time.”
“They’re unusual in that they have a 10-year warranty. Kriega is sure of its products.”
The Drypacks connect to straps secured under the motorbike seat or attached to the frame.
They come in five, 10, 20 and 30-litre sizes and, being modular, can be strapped together to give a combined storage capacity of up to 70 litres.
A converter allows most Drypacks to be used as tank bags.
The Rackpack offers 40 litres of stowage space.
We stock the most popular Backpacks from nine to 35 litres.
There is also the smart and classy Roland Sands Design Roam range tool roll.
Waistpacks allow riders wearing one-piece suits to carry items such as phones and wallets.
“Drypacks are ideal if you don’t have a top box or panniers, or don’t want to leave all the hardware storage on your motorbike but need to carry clothes for occasional trips,” explained Daniel.
“And you can stack them up and strap them together.
“People like Kriega, love the products and buy more as you can keeping adding to them.”
