motoadam Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’m planning a big trip! Anyone have any recommendations for bags that can be mounted on top of the left and right hard cases? And mounting suggestions welcome! TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gll429 Posted July 11, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted July 11, 2020 it all depends on what you are willing to do.. straps ?suction cups ? or do what serious touring guys do.. drill and put bolts from the inside out. harley and bmw guys drill mounting points for soft bags by locking the bolt down on the out side and often using wing nuts and pins to mount the extra bag and allows for quick removal.

TIA Here’s my suggestion, doesn’t actually mount on the hard cases but would sit over them, easier to use the cases this way I think. You can also mount another bag above the centre bag if you need more room. This is presuming you won’t have a pillion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFR78 Posted July 12, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted July 12, 2020 Philois is on the money. Kriega US40/50 sits well above the panniers on a Gen 8. Not sure how the 1200 pillion seat is setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoadam Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Just to close this out... I did a bunch of research based on your suggestions and decided to buy the Kreiga US Combo 40 🙂 Thanks again y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
