shot an email to matrix moto, no response so i went straight on kriegas website and shot an email to them (which i think goes to matrix moto since they are the sole distributor in the US)

Anyway, they have a rebuild kit for this, as it seems like it must occur kinda often to warrant it. Scott Conley got back to me in the middle of the night and i sent him some pics and he sent me a rebuild kit for the said straps!

Awesome. Looks like my kriegas going to keep on ticking. Im going to have to saw off someones thumb to give Kriega's service and products three thumbs up.

I love the Kriega R25 also, fits my thinkpad fine tho my larger T400 now travels without the padded sleeve.
The 10L bag is sorta nice, but small and sorta klugey to attach to tail, but that's sloved with a strap aound my seat and a short bungy. Would like to see a 20L bag.
I was set to buy the tank bag adapter but someone gave me a tank bag.
Stuff is spendy but for carrying on a moto, no foolin around.

Just got an R-15 and added that to my original post, along with some edits to the R-25 info

still waiting for my R25 repair kit

Who did you contact?

I just had an exceptional customer service experience with Scott at matrixMoto who posted as matrixmoto.

In going over that R-15 i just got an looking over some photos I found that the water bladder in my Hydro 3 was missing a clip. I contacted him this morning about it and he asked me to send some photos. I snapped a couple celly pix once I got home from work, around 7pm east coast, and sent them off. He mailed me back within a couple minutes to tell me that something was a miss and he was sending me a a new water bladder gratis. he even managed to get it into the UPS chain today.

No hemming or hawing, no send back your old one, once we get it we'll send you another... Just BAM, there's something wrong, here comes a replacement.

I love my R30.

The only problem I have encountered with it is that it sits a little too high on my back and interferes with me cranking my neck back when I'm seriously hanging off. Which, to be honest, I shouldn't be doing when I have a backpack on.

Here is a shot from this week of the new waterproof R30 on Neale Bayly as he rides the new Ducati Hypermotards in Arizona, at a Ducati launch.


Thanks again!
 

Wrong place to be testing out a waterproof bag.   Well, except for this year of course!! We had more rain in those few months than in the last several years combined!  That sparked me into looking into the new R30. Any more reviews on it Matador?    

I'm looking at ordering the R30 along with the US10 if they don't have them here at Ducati Scottsdale.

Question for MatrixMoto..will the US10 work as a tailbag on the new Monsters?

I am a new rider and currently researching gear.  I have decided to go with a Kriega pack.  I commute daily to law school but also make weekend trips to visit my folks.  That stated, I'm a little unsure whether to get the R-25, R-30, or R-35.  For my daily commute, I will be carrying a laptop and potentially several heavy books.  On the weekends, I will be carrying some overnight stuff (clothing, toiletries, shoes).  I plan on adding the US-10 as an attachment to whichever pack I get (for weekends).  I am just not sure if the R-25 will be sufficient for my commuting needs but I also do not want to run into a situation where the R-30 or R-35 becomes too bulky.  Any assistance would be much appreciated.

go with an R30. im thinking about jumping and upgrading to it form my R25 cant beat waterpoofness, and extra pockets.

[Slide Panda]

The R-25 Will fit a 17" Mac book pro with room for plenty more. It's more than sufficient for a weekend.

On a trip to deals gap I carried in an R-25:
Sneakers
Extra socks for a few days
Jeans
Toiletries
Couple t shirts
Couple underoos
A full sized SLR
Extra tools
Helmet visor
And some other misc crap

Thanks.  The rucksack feature on the R-30 may be nice given that it renders the pack virtually waterproof.  It's good to know too that the R-25 will suffice to carry my stuff.  These books I'm referring to are about 3 inches thick a piece and I carry between 2 and 3 on any given day.
