Tail Pack Recommendations

dangermouse425 · 28 Oct 2014 at 08:12

I'm looking at getting a small tailpack so I can stick a few items on the back of the Street Triple, rather than wearing a backpack all the time.

Any recommendations?

Something like this, but hopefully not as expensive?

Wow thats not cheap! What do you want to put in it? I survived using a bungee cargo net over the back seat

Kriega is a bit cheaper, have one myself, great bit of kit.

Another vote for Kriega.

Following recommendations on here and another forum, I'll get a Kriega. Either a 10 or a 20, I'll have a think.

Will post up a review on here once I've bought it, sorted it onto the bike and got a bit of experience with it.

There's a good post on fitting the straps to the STriple seat here: http://www.street-triple.co.uk/index.php/topic,19054.msg232628.html#msg232628. Was thinking of the same for mine.

I have this on my Street Triple

Just as good as the Kreiga IMO and a fraction of the price

I've used a Kreiga us 30 before, it's handy for camping weekends but a bit much for day stuff, us 10 would be better. tbh I find having a topbox way more handy though as you can lock things inside including helmets/clothes and a chain on the way out.

The sw motech plate isn't too bad on the looks compared to the full Givi rack I'm currently using on mine.

I have the Oxford X25. Can fit a helmet in it. - http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/209589

Positives:
- Lots of space
- Good quality
- Cheap

Negatives:
- Very tall, hard to get leg over (oh matron)
- Not lockable (a lot aren't though)
- Have to take seat off to remove it if fitted properly. Otherwise, use bungees.
