I have 3 30 litre bags and use for touring. 1 each side and 1 for top of my giving top box. I have a VStrom and use the giving side pannier rack along with the Cosmos fittings stops bags moving inwards. They are great and do the job perfectly. Now as an extra precaution I bought 3 30 litre waterproof bags from nippy Norman's but the ring bags are waterproof and the yellow liner can be zipped out. Again just as extra precaution I use 2 roc straps to secure bag to frame.
I stuffed a sleeping bag, a large towel and some other rags I had lying about the hut in it and it had room to spare. With careful packing I recon I could get 3 or 4 days of clothes in it. Thanks for watching!
Great video, thank you. I was looking into buying this luggage but I have an old backpack, so I was just thinking about sewing the plastic buckles and use a strap I cut from a too long ratched I bought. Greetings from Perú
thanks for the vid. i'm used to travelling light from my cycling tour days, so one of these for my hoped for tour of scotland next year including possibly the nc500 seems ideal. i was thinking maybe a 20l for clothes, with a 10l to keep 'dirtier' bits like tools and a puncture kit, and maybe waterproofs, seperate, but i'm a ways off deciding yet, but they deffo look easy to unclip for taking into the B&B at night. only thing i'd be a tad worried about is security if i nip into a shop or cafe or something, but hey-ho, can't have everything i suppose !!. GL
Thanks for the vid. Looks good. Im looking at the throw over panniers for my Africa Twin, but curious to know how the build quality is holding up for you. Certainly is a lot cheaper than Kreiga
Can you install the bag perpendicular to the bike? Will the straps still have a place to fasten if you rotate it 90 degrees? I was thinking maybe you can use the straps to hold tight a small tent between them and the bag, what do you think?
Thanks for watching. You could certainly rotate it 90 degrees with no problems. I’m not sure about your idea with the tent, I don’t think the stamps would be long enough. I will try it next time I’m loading up for a camping trip. Ride safe.
Coming back to this comment to let you know that I was able to successfully mount it sideways and inside the bag it managed to fit a tent, sleeping bag, and mattress. It was a lot easier to strap the bag to the seat once it was full. The tent was slightly bigger in length than the bag so it had to sit diagonally inside it, but even with all three things packaged there was still space for more random stuff. I lost one of the metal hooks unfortunately, they only really pull properly if fastened so it's possible that it fell but even with three it worked perfectly. Also quick note - after over 1000km riding with it at both street and highway speeds, the stitches on the top side of the bag started to come off so I had to take it to a shoe repairer to restitch everything and for under 5€ the bag is new and better than ever. Other than the stitches (which still managed pretty well considering I attached everything to whichever strap was closest) the bag itself, materials, etc worked like a charm!
I have one of the 10 litre Kriega bags, but the price of getting two saddle bags is eye watering. This looks good. I wonder how you're getting on with it now.
The roll top how many rolls do you do first one of these I've bought, others have had full zips , do these not leak water in Through that fold /seal! ?
Thanks for the video Al, have you ever had one or more of the metal clips detach themselves from the loops installed on to the bike. I ask as I have fitted a 30 litre pack to my Trans Alp and I am concerned that if one detached and the bag moved all the straps could detach. Thanks
Thanks for watching. I have had one clip slip out once, I think it was user as the strap wasn’t tight. I normally check the straps whenever I stop and they are usually fine.
can you please make another Video for the ENGLISH speaking community?🤣🤣 ...or German would be much better sry mate but its not easy with my poor English skills but my Scottish is even a bit more rusty 😎... cheers and i was just kidding, so calm down, think about your bloodpressure and ride safe ... I am just going to buy this 40-60L Rhinowalk and this video helped a lot ♥
Thanks Al the Scottish Biker. Just had one delivered and couldn't work out how the attachments worked but all clear now:)
Cracking job. I've just taken delivery of an ebay bargain (£24 for the 30lt), but no fitting guidance. Thank you for sharing your experience 👍🏼
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

Been looking at these bags online for a first tail pack, ordered a 30l thanks to this review. Cheers for that lad
Thanks for watching. I am glad the video helped you. Ride safe.
Nice clear review of a great value rear bag. Thanks for helping me make my mind up
Thanks for watching. I am glad the video helped, they are great bags. Ride safe.
@@althescottishbiker I'm thinking the extra strap turns out into a rucksack
It comes with a shoulder strap. I don't use it so can't say if it turns into a ruck sack.
Looked at this bag but wasn’t sure how much stuff you could get in it but it it would’ve been perfect
I stuffed a sleeping bag, a large towel and some other rags I had lying about the hut in it and it had room to spare. With careful packing I recon I could get 3 or 4 days of clothes in it. Thanks for watching!
Good video. I was also looking at Kriega and Givi luggage but I couldn't justify the cost. I am going to give these a try.
Thanks for watching. They are good budget alternatives but I doubt they will last as long as Kriega. Ride safe.
great review mate - looking at this bag just now. 30L seems plenty big enough for me
Thanks for watching. I am glad you found it helpful.

Thanks for watching. These bags are really good. Ride safe.
Thank you, exactly what I’m looking for to put on the Tiger 900 for the upcoming summer jolly 👍🏻
Thanks for watching. Ride safe!

yeah, security could be an issue if you leave the bike.
Огромное спасибо!!! Посмотрел ваше видео и приобрёл так же сумку, очень понравилась!!! И за пошаговую установку сумки на мотоцикл, тоже Спасибо!!!
Thanks for watching. I am glad the video was helpful.
When I was riding I had one of these. It was excellent, especially for the money.
Thanks for watching. It’s a good bag for the price.
Thank you for the review! Cheers from Italy
Thanks for watching!
Last year in July i watched this video because i always forget how to strap the first 4 stripes. Well here we are again, until next year 👋😂
Thanks for watching, again. 🤣 I’m glad it helped.

They are doing great so far. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful thanks! Regards from B.C

Thanks mate.
Thanks for review🤝🏽

@@althescottishbiker I've ordered it. I'll try it out when it arrives and get back to you as well if it works. Thanks for the reply.

@@dognaper321 glad to hear. Thanks for the update.
Thanks
That's pretty cool. I have nothing at the back of my bike sadly.
Thanks for watching. It's a good, flexible system.
You can attach it to the subframe, no need to have any rack in your bike. Check the kriega install videos on revzilla to get a better idea.
Great Al cheers will do
I have one of the 10 litre Kriega bags, but the price of getting two saddle bags is eye watering. This looks good. I wonder how you're getting on with it now.
Thanks for watching. They are doing great. No problems at all. I have a 30, two 20s and a 10. Covers all my needs. Ride safe.
The roll top how many rolls do you do first one of these I've bought, others have had full zips , do these not leak water in Through that fold /seal! ?
Thanks for watching. I normally try and get at least 3 rolls, but as many as possible is good. They haven’t leaked. Ride safe!

Hi you reckon this can be installed on a R15's pillion seat?
Thanks for watching. I think it would but I don’t know what tie down points your bike has.
Can you mount these bags vertically rather than horizonatally secure with the supplied straps or is it designed just to lay flat?
Thanks for watching. They are deigned to lay flat. There is a rubber friction mesh on the back to stop them sliding.
Nice review👍
thanks for watching. ride safe
Хочу купить такие сумки. Соединятся 4 сумки по 30 литров? Схема крепления: 1 на сиденье, 2 по бокам, 1 сверху.
They can all connect easily. Thanks for watching
Hi, can a full face helmet fit in the 30L bag?
Hi, I haven’t tried it but I don’t think it would work well as the bag is designed to hold a rectangular shape. Thanks

@@althescottishbiker just ordered it yesterday, should arrive in 2 days, looking forward :) have a great weekend over there and cheers from Thailand
Do u have to have a luggage rack for these I have a Navi and feel like they would hang off the back some
No, I don’t have a rack. If done up tightly they don’t hang down. Each bike is different so I can’t say for sure how they would fit.
