    Any of you use one?

    I had seat hooks on my R1 so was easy to connect a US10 I use daily ...no such luck on the Blade ... Looking at the Kreiga site it says to use the loops supplied and run round subframe except there is no access to do so ... Any ideas?

    You taking the kitchen sink? :D

    I only use a little US10 daily lol ... I've managed to find the old style straps so for now can strap to bike using the seat which is fine for now ... Just means will have the straps hanging off bike whilst at work.

    I undid straps threaded them through and connected them together again.
    The rear one is threaded under the subframe and connected together for security, pretty much the same as the front but without double backing on the strap over the top again.
    Hope that makes sense?!

    No need to take anything off other than the rear seat if you do it this way.

    That will do me fine...

    Did you get rear strap under subframe then without removing seat cowl - can't see where to thread strap in ... :)

    I can see the front one goes under lock.

    I have always just had the straps loose under the seat pad and not had any problems, it may be because I am using the older US pack (before the introduction of alloy hooks)

    I've actually got both ... The new system is both neater and more secure.

    Yes I separated the straps and threaded one through underneath, then took the other strap and doubled it over the top for security and tied off.
    Once the seat is in place it keeps the straps in the right position.

    Just cut the excess from both straps (lots) and use a lighter to seal the ends. Job done :)

    Tried that option mate.
    All it does is bend your nice seat.

    I don't see how as the straps go through the subframe at rear and seat lock at front. The only way you will bend seat is if you over tighten the tail pack.
