Hello
Can anyone recommend a UK-available, reasonably-priced ca. 10-20L tail pack for a 2021 R1250RS. I'm happy to buy a reasonably priced base plate if required. Want something / mechanism so that it does not chafe and damage paintwork.
Thanks, maddrobh

I use hard luggage but my friend swears by Kriega stuff. The 20 and 30 litre ones are Ride recommended.

These do not need rain covers unlike the cheaper bags.

Looking at that site, the Givi one gets a Ride best buy https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcy...ent_prod/208822

This Held also gets a Ride best buy award https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcy...ent_prod/274770

There are links to the Ride magazine reviews in the descriptions of the Givi & Kriega US20 items, and you can see comments about some other products from Oxford & BMW.

I use a Kriega 30L and have it mounted across the pillion seat and luggage rack. It works well for me but I never carry a passenger.

The upside is it collapses down well when not much is in it, but expands to carry a lot of stuff.

Thanks Paul. When you say luggage rack, I presume you mean the BMW rack (for top box) ? I just have the two standard 'handles'.

Yes, exactly. There is a thread which talks about mounting a Kriega with only the handles. I believe it was Lee who posted pics. I think the rack does make it a lot easier.
