@@enkeierick On road it feels the same. I did a road loop two days ago I’ve ridden many times and the bike felt its normal excellent self. I did touch down my right boot once but that was because I was close to home and riding lazy and had my toes hanging. I haven’t done any serious off road yet as I recover from a broken leg. Given the way it feels on road (pretty much exactly the same), I’d expect it to be just as good, albeit with 30mm less ground clearance. I can put up with that given the confidence the lowering as had on slow speed manoeuvring and stopping. Overall, very happy so far.
Thanks for that video! I'm trying to decide between these and the Mosko Moto Reckless 40 for my Tiger 900 RP. The Kriega look really tidy and the fit looks great. Close to the bike and all. The Reckless 40 (or 80) look like they'd have to go over the passenger grab rails and wouldn't be as tidy a fit, but they seem easier to just unbuckle and take into the hotel / camp. Hm, decisions, decisions... Oh, the link above in the video description points to the OS-12 combo (2 x OS-6) when it should point to the OS-24 combo (2 x OS-12) I think?
@@SebastianHubrich-e1f Yes, should be the OS-24 Combo (2x12 litre). The Moto Reckless 40 have a good reputation. Can’t speak for the fitment on the 900 RP. As you say, if that had to go over the passenger grab rails, it would make them very wide. The narrow fitment of the Kriega on the RP is a big advantage.
Thanks @woodstovemeister1. To my knowledge the Rover SD1 was never sold in Japan. The UK, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada were the main markets.
How many miles is on your chain since you last adjusted it? Did you adjust your chain tension after installing the links? I noticed mine is making a howling sound the faster I go. I’ll have to adjust the tension and see if that resolves my issue.
@@clarkstreetcustomsso after adjusting the chain the noise went away. Now it seems as my front fork is oscillating. Liking like like if a wheel isn’t true. That isn’t the case since it has 1000 miles and hasn’t been off roading or hitting potholes. Even if I coast, especially the slower I feel as if the front suspension is hit constant bumps even though the the surface is completely smooth. When I did lower the front forks, I did have to turn the left fork 180 degrees to make it move. I don’t know if that might have bonded anything internally. Any ideas?
@@bucpeeba08 Did you return the left fork to the original position? How worn is your front tyre? A worn front tyre can cause oscillation and bar shake at certain speeds. I’d check all the basics (tyre wear, tyre pressure, suspension settings back to factory etc.). If it is still feeling weird, try removing the front wheel, check the fork movement and that nothing is binding. If it is still not right, you might need trip to the dealer to check the forks. Hope that helps.
It is the OS-Base Universal Fit. kriega.com/os-base-rackless/os-base Kriega don't make a custom OS-base for the Tiger. Not sure why not, perhaps because the Universal fit works quite well with a bit of adjustment. Add a comment if you'd like to see a a video on how I fitted it.
Asi eran aquellas camionetas Chevrolet C-10 era 1970, hubo muchas de esas, tenian 6 colores del la version del volante de dos rayos anchos, con su vocina trapesoidal central, el mejor y comodo diseño de manubrio que he visto, asi las fabricaban por aquellos años, y seis colores 1-Rojo 2-Cafe claro 3-Azul 4-Verde 5-Gris (las GMC), y 6-Negro. Fue un placer verla y hacer un comentario . Peter Henry Aylwin Del Rio .😊😊😊
Peter, muchas gracias por tu comentario. You know your C10 trucks. I like the way Chevrolet/GMC called the colours of the trucks just by the colour name. The cars were given fancy names like "Mediterranean Blue". Like you said, The trucks just got "Red", "Green", "Black" or in the case of our truck "White & Medium Blue" (Option No. 531). This got shortened to "White & Med Blue" on the Service Parts Identification label inside the glovebox lid (see 2:08 in the video).
@@martinbaldam6676 Remove the two bolts underneath the beak and then pull it firmly towards the front of the bike. There are two retaining clips which will break free but won’t break. So basically just a reversal of the way it was reattached in the video. Hope that helps.
Good question. Thanks for asking. No issues so far. The angle on the side stand at the standard height was quite steep so with the 30mm drop, it looks 'normal' and doesn't feel like its going to tip on a flat surface. Certainly a lot easier to lift off the sidestand now. Haven't had it fully loaded, two-up yet (still nursing the broken leg) so will post up if there is any issues there.
I use a Kathmandu brand 2-person tent which I’ve had for years (scroll through to 17:50 to see the monster of a thing). It does the job but it doesn’t fit the ‘lightweight’ category that’s for sure. Interested in what lightweight tents people are using.
