US Alloy Hook Straps

Fitting Instructions

NB: Some bikes already have web loops attached to the seat-pad/base. In this case we still recommend the fitting of the Kriega loops, as fitting to the subframe is far stronger than to the seat.

Remove motorcycle seat and locate the best mounting areas on the rear subframe. It may be necessary to slot the internal plastic tray if no subframe metalwork is exposed. Attach the 4 x 20mm web loops securely to high strength areas of the frame. The 20mm loops are adjustable in length. Final adjustments should be carried out with the seat/pad fitted. Once set, the web must be threaded back through the adjuster to lock-off the webbing (see the threading diagram on this page). To fit the US pack, simply insert an alloy hook in each loop, attach the top quick-release buckle and cinch down the bag on to the bike. Always use the 2 x strap keepers on the webbing to manage the loose ends. PAlso ensure that the quick-release buckles are correctly 'clicked' home. To us Alloy Hook Straps to attach US bags together in stacked combo configuration simply place the smaller bag on top of the larger one and insert the smaller bag's Alloy Hooks into the dedicated webbing loops on the base of the larger back and follow same procedure as above. N.B. if you have a pre-2012 US-20 (i.e. without dedicated webbing hook loops) and wish to attach a new US-10, use the US Alloy Hook Straps from your new US-10 on the US-20 and then use the compression straps from the US-20 to attach the US-10 to it.
