General topics » Attaching Kriega bag so it sits on pillion seat?

Are there any good attachment points for attaching a Kriega bag on the RS, so the bag sits on the pillion seat? I looked at the photo in the manual and it doesn't appear there are any subframe bits for attachment of loops, and I don't have the bike yet to look more intently at the issue. Can I simply run straps under the seat, then replace the seat?

Thanks.

I'm guessing the back two straps can attach to the passenger grab rails.
For the front two strap you can make a couple loop from nylon straps and use existing screws under the pillion seat to hold the loops.
When not in use flip them under the seat.

The photo attachment is not working. I'll try later so you can see what I mean.

I like that, Lee. Those strap loops that are screwed to the frame...did you simply punch a hole in the nylon strap loop and screw it in?

I went for a lunch box

The nylon loops work good if the Kriega bag has metal C hooks.
If it has 4 Fastex buckles this is what I did for a small bag I carry on the back seat with tools and just in case stuff.
My bag had 4 straps with Fastex buckles. I did not want to cut the straps that came with the bag so I removed the Fastex buckles from the existing straps and put them on my own straps.
This picture shows where I attached the straps.

Do you have the rear luggage rack? If so, that makes it easier.

I have a 30L Kriega bag that I use regularly. I ran the front anchors around the pannier post and the front of the grab handle. For the back ones, I took the grey plate off the rack, ran the rear anchors around the frame then bolted the grey plate back on. You can kind of see it here but I can send more pics if it helps. The 30L holds a ton but collapses down nicely for day trips. I'll often ride out to a brewery around here, pick up a 4 pack to go and put it in the Kriega. I also carry extra layers, etc.

Bunch of good ideas here. I'm leaning toward Lee's method, two loops screwed into the bike as he shows, then attaching the rearward Kriega straps to loops attached to the grab handles.

Thank you all!

On the R1200 I cut a hole and on the R1250 I melted a hole with a pencil type soldering iron.

It’s a Puig sport screen with light tint

What screen do you have on your bike...looks tinted.

BEARR do you plan to add a rear rack?

I linked 2 loop straps under the front seat then use a cable tie to stow them away. The photos show my initial trial then the cleaned up version.

I don't have a photo of the rear mounting but I use a single strap with a clip on either than runs under the rack.
