Hi, I have just purchased a new Aprilia Tuono Factory. I already have a full set of Kriega luggage. Just looking for some advice on fitting the Kriega tank converter for use with the US5 or US10. I am looking for advice as to how to fit the front straps for the tank converter to the bike. Any advice/photos much appreciated. Many thanks

Hi Gary,
I use the Kriega tank converter on my Tuono, the front straps just fit around the headstock, from memory I think they went underneath the steering lock and then just up over the tank. Fairly simple and never had any problems. I have just upgraded to a new Factory and the tank is metal so not sure if I will continue with Kriega for the tank or revert to the old style magnetic tank bag. What I have noticed is the tank seems to mark up very easily, have had to tape the tank where my jacket zip is along with a tank protector, new bike with the bloody tank marked already. Always used Ventura for the rear of the bike but have purchased the Kriega US30, fitted it at the weekend but yet to take it out, Ventura was excellent but fancied a change after 20 years.
Enjoy your Factory, amazing bits of kit.
