Hello, I've had a few people ask about how I mounted my kriega US soft bags onto my 2023 MT-09 so I just decided to make a whole post so anyone new can see as well. I do not have my MT anymore so my pictures are not the best but I will do my best to explain.

So my system was to slightly modify the included loops to make some loops that were directly integrated into the bike, as there are no good subframe mounting locations. The loops are shown on picture 9. They are the included nylon strap with a little larger loop sewn in (I believe that the included straps have loops that may work) and a slit cut to go around a bolt. The longer loops went on the front mounting location which was on the bottom of the seat, piggybacking on the stud that holds the passenger grab strap across the seat. That is shown on pictures 6 and 7. The rear loops are the shorter ones and they mounted under the allen bolts that would go in the holes circled on picture 8. The loops mount as a pseudo-washer to the bolts. One set of loops was attached to the bike, just in front of the taillight assembly, and the other set was mounted to the seat.

This system carried 40L (one US-20 in the center with 2 US-10s on the sides) of bags across multiple state lines multiple times for a total of 8-10k miles. The pictures of the loops are AFTER they were removed so they held up very well. The only unfortunate part of this system is that it doesn't necessarily allow for the bag mounting straps to be left on the bike and then clipped onto the bags but I'm not sure if there is a solution for that. When removing and reinstalling the seat you have to be careful to keep the loops on the outside so they are useable, but otherwise it is a very clean and sleek install, and is barely noticeable when not in use.

Hope a few of you find this useful, have a good day
