Still got questions? Fire them out and I'll do my best to answer them.

I was searching for reviews on Kriega OS-Base 32 combo packs, and stumbled on your awesome video. The only other additional space I need is for fuel bottles and cook set. Thanks. Great video. Keep the same format.

As always very informative and professional with perfect humour 👍

Looks like a darn near perfect set up for what you were doing....thanks much for sharing this!

[humoto]

...loved it, Greg -- thanks for the production and sharing! Best Hubertus

Great info. I have the OS12 and base too, excellent system. Coincidentally I made a similar tie down mounting bracket on my wr250r which works really well.

I've got the zigzag bag as well on my bike. it's a handy little bag but not waterproof. may be water-resistant but not very well. I ended up sowing a canvas flap over the zip with velcro. can handle the biggest New Zealand rain pore downs now.

Nice round up of your gear...im waiting for the T7 specific Kriega OS combo, should be ready soon i hope . Like you say, you gradually build up a set up that suits you and keep refining it. I looked at an old photo of my XR650R and smiled at the bin liner wrapped luggage and Army surplus packs on it!!, I'm all posh now with my Kriega luggage!! . By the way, if you ever need to fit any little tie down eyes or brackets etc, check out the stuff in yacht chandlers. There's lots of neat, beautifully made stainless steel stuff, with rounded edges (to prevent lines from fraying). Cheers, Steve

Tent porch: in Oz everything comes in the tent at night or the morning is a snake, spider, scorpion, rodent discovery trip!! 😳

“Didn’t use it”!! That was funny. Could have halved your kit. 😁

Sea to Summit do really good sleeping bags and liners that enables me to cover a very wide range of temperature conditions.

I have a Kriega 10 with my tools and first aid kit. Couldn’t get down to 5, which I also have. Kriega are great.

I never carry rucksacks. Throws you off balance and fatigues you. My jacket has a bladder pocket. I do have a Kriega hip pack for my valuables and camera stuff. That works really well.

Great video…I have similar gear. Coming from hiking to adv biking helped me to understand what’s important.

Thanks for sharing your system 👍🏻😁

[tshansen]

would you be able to put a peak design capture plate on the harness of that backpack? I may need to upgrade to a bigger backpack if i get more or bigger gear 🤣

I've got the OS base with the 12L's on my Dr650 and the same system with 18's on my Norden. Bought a pair of 6L's too. Can mix match, add, upsize, downsize, whatever. Really versatile system.

[choerenz]

Greg have you compared this system to the mosko moto reckless system? I'd be curious on pros and cons as I'm considering both.

[markmoss]

Thanks mate about to buy the os system good info

[steveh]

ah... i have the universal base, to go on my PR7...which i sold... and i'm now rocking a heavily modified 89 transalp. old and slow, just like the rider. Anyway, one issue with the bases, is the lack of ability to cinch down the forward straps. Wish they just gave you longer straps, like the cam straps. The forward straps are just passive (and in my case don't reach far enough forward). All of the tensioning is done with the rear mounts. I'm going to mess around with it, but the only thing i think i can do is move the base further forward, over the back of the seat. My TA has crazy Africa Twin body work (done by previous owner), and it's got really wide 'hips'. Anyway, Kriega should at least make the forward straps longer, if not longer AND cinch-able.

[skybluetenere]

Thanks for all the details, Greg.
Good video with the summary of your gear and purpose. Please share the exact details of the ThermaRest mat. My one is 25+ years old and not comfy anymore.
Thanks, Bernd

Great video! I'd been trying to decide between the Endurostan or Krieger panniers for my 690.
One question, your packing didn't include any shoes?
Only ask as shoes or sandals always seem to take up too much space and are something I always forget about until the last minute and there's no space left..

I’m just getting into lightweight adventure bikes, buying a new CRF 300 Rally. My main bike is a 1200 GSA with the BMW bins on it which are fantastic for the long haul camping trips, however as I said I’m getting a 300 Rally for the more off road type stuff. My question it do you think the Kriega OS gear will be ok for this little beast? Cheers in advance 👍🏻

[donbreeden]

You could all the new tarp "The Secret Cabin"

[hanzo]

What do you have in the second kriega os-12 bag?

[mikekrajicek]

Hi can you tell me please, do you find your hands go numb through vibration while riding this bike?
