Kriega US-30 Drypack The Kriega US-30 is 30-litre capacity 100 waterproof motorcycle tailpack. Unique design solution enables fitment can fit directly to the bike's subframe or solid mounting under the seat. The US-30 also comes equipped with removable shoulder and waist straps, so it can be carried courier style, on or off the bike. Base anti-slip mesh also doubles as a pocket to store the shoulder and waist straps when the US-30 is attached to the bike. The shoulder strap connects to the large D-rings at each end of the pack and the waist strap connects to 2 fold away buckles at the corners of the mesh-pocket. The Kriega US-30 motorcycle tailpack is designed to work perfectly with pretty much any motorcycle, via a super secure attachment to the sub-frame. The pack is easily attached/removed by 4 x quick-release buckles, and no extra bungees or rain covers are required. The Kriega US-30 tail pack utilizes the latest generation of fitting straps US Alloy Hook Straps allow tailpack combinations of up to 90-liters to be carried with confidence and convenience. Easy on/off with no loose straps remaining. Custom CNC milled, aircraft grade, 6061-T6 alloy hooks attach to the four discreet web loops located on the sub-frame of the bike. Fitting method is particularly suitable for traditional one-piece motorcycle seats and bolt-on seat pads/racks, as well as standard seats. US packs can be mounted inline or across the seat. See US Alloy Hook Strap page for full fitting instructions. For use as a tankbag, Kriega US Tank Adaptor must be purchased. Features 1000D Dupont Cordura (100 waterproof main body) RHINOTEK abrasion resistant fabric HYPALON abrasion resistant re-enforcement DRYPACK removable tape-seamed liner (white) 420D nylon ripstop - lightweight yet extremely strong Acetal ITW Airloc buckles YKK water-resistant zips 6061-T6 alloy fitting hooks Side access zip pocket (water-resistant) Coated-mesh pocket Shoulder waist straps 1 x set US Alloy Hook Straps included 10-year guarantee 30-litre capacity 445mm(H) x 295mm(W) x 225mm(D) Note The US-30 subframe loops are reflective, not black as shown. This will help to ensure a secure connection to the frame of your motorcycle, and to differentiate between the subframe loops and the connection straps.

After doing extensive research for a good tail-bag for commuting so I wouldn't have to wear a backpack on hot days, I decided on the Kriega drypack. Couldn't decide on the 20 or the 30, so I played it safe on the 30. Guys....get the 30, you'll appreciate the extra space and when it's empty it can be compacted down with the straps. I had some issues installing it as my Ducati Multistrada 1200 doesn't have an accessible subframe under the separate passenger seat. Kriega suggests just tying the straps together and laying them across under the seat. Guys, you don't want to do this. After I tried this, the straps and bag were moving all over the place and it was hard to adjust for the proper length, it was just a mess. I did some tinkering and figured out something that works, but this system is best suited if you have exposed subframe under the seat to attach the straps to.
The pack is high quality, but my only 2 minor gripes are...it would be nice if there were separate compartments inside the pack for phone, wheel lock etc. Also a carrying handle would be nice for when you remove it from the bike. Yes I know it comes with a shoulder strap, but I don't need to place a relatively small pack on my shoulder like a man purse or a satchel if you're Indian Jones. Just give me a small grab handle so I can carry it.
Other than that, this is a great bag. Glad I made the purchase and it looks good once set up.

fitting shoes
would a pair of size 43 dainese trq race air out shoes fit in the 30 liter tail bag? I want somewhere to store my motorcycle boots when at school or work.
Yes, they'll fit with ease. Probably fit a few other things in there as well. It fits my extra large textile jacket with armor and liner no problem.

Anyone tried to use this for Laptop? I have 16" laptop that I need to bring on daily commutes.
You could probably fit 5 laptops in this thing no problem.

What size capacity?
I'm torn between the 20L and the 30L Kriega bags. I know that I could always go larger with the buckle system, but the 20L seems perfect for day-to-day use. My question is- in your opinion- could I say, fit a 12 pack of beer and a pair of shoes in the 20L? If not, I will go with the 30L. Also, can I strap the 30L bag vertically so it doesn't hang over the side?
I had the same internal debate and went with the 30L. I made the right call. You'll appreciate the extra space and when you have the bag mostly empty or entirely empty you can compress it down really good with the straps so it's nice and small. I can't speak for the 20, but the 30L will definitely hold a pair for shoes and then some. You can strap it down vertically or horizontally, it gives you plenty of options. Spend the extra $20...it's worth it.

Would the Kriega US-20 go well on a Yamaha FZ 16? And can 2 helmets be kept in it?
The 20 will fit just fine. No, two helmets won't fit....not even one. The 20 is more of a laptop, lunch, clothes type of bag. You miiiiiiight be able to fit a single helmet in the 30, but I think you'd have trouble closing the bag securely.
