New Reviews! Arai and Kriega

araivector2_white kriega_US10pack These are long overdue reviews that I'm finally posting. The first is of my beloved Arai Vector 2 Helmet. If you want to step up your game and invest in an incredible helmet, then you can't go wrong with Arai.

The second one is the Kriega Universal Tailpack System. I love this system because for those of us with tiny rear seats, saddlebag systems can be too wide or just not a perfect fit. They can also add width which interferes with swerve clearance and can redistribute the weight. I love these for my SV650 and I think you will too.

Love these! They come in black too, $28.95

Another review in the queue.. Kriega

Last weekend I went on another 3 day riding weekend. Only logged 600 miles (rode 2 out of 3 days) but I loved how these performed. 

Sadly it was 100 degrees so I couldn't test the waterproof nature of these Kriega packs but I absolutely love how they are interchangeable and stackable with one another. I'm trying to get away from saddlebag systems just so have the lowest profile setup on my bike. The setup above has a total capacity of 40 Liters. I only filled them 2/3 of the way and am confident that I could easily fill them up for a 4-5 day trip.

If you're a sportbike / naked bike enthusiast, then you know how difficult luggage can be. Kriega's ingenious system allows their bags to fit on pretty much any bike, even if you don't have mount points!

Stay tuned for a full review.

(I've been practicing packing lighter and lighter so that's probably also why I'm able to conserve so much space)
