Detailed description
The Kriega OS-BASE saddle harness for Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin is designed for 2021 and earlier models, excluding the Africa Twin Adventure Sports. This rackless attachment accommodates OS-6, OS-12, and OS-18 Adventure Pack soft bags without the need for a heavy metal frame.
The system was developed to complement the versatility of the Africa Twin, from short rides to adventure motorcycle trips requiring significant carrying capacity. It requires no permanent bodywork modifications and can be installed in less than a minute.

Compatibility Warning
This version of the OS-BASE is intended only for 2021 and earlier Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin models (excluding the Adventure Sports model).
It is not compatible with 2022 and later models, due to changes in the rear section and the addition of the standard luggage rack. For these models, including the Africa Twin Adventure Sports, the Kriega OS-BASE Adventure Bike must be used.
Included equipment
- Africa Twin specific OS-BASE harness.
- 2 Honda strap mounts.
- 4 strap buckles with washers.
- Pre-cut paint protection film.
- Aircraft-grade alloy hooks.
- Non-slip cam buckles.
- Reinforced stitching at stress points.
Luggage without a metal frame
The OS-BASE features a rackless design that avoids adding a heavy metal structure to the Africa Twin. The harness positions itself on the upper part of the motorcycle and directly accommodates the OS Adventure Pack bags.
The specific Honda fasteners attach to the frame under the seat and are positioned behind the CRF's alloy mounts. This creates four anchor points for an independent OS-PACK bag or a US-Drypack.
An evolving configuration
The system accepts OS-6, OS-12, and OS-18 bags, allowing for different configurations depending on the trip.
For minimal gear, a single bag can be used. By combining several attachment points and the OS-BASE elements, it becomes possible to create a three-bag configuration or more, depending on needs.
The OS-BASE can also serve as a base for a configuration including an independent OS-PACK rear bag.
A fastener designed for the Africa Twin
The Honda fasteners mount to the frame under the seat and are positioned behind the CRF's alloy mounts. The pre-defined strap lengths and harness shape then ensure a precise fit.
The positioning also maintains sufficient clearance with the exhaust, even during off-road use.
Quick installation without drilling
Installing the OS-BASE takes less than one minute and removing it only a few seconds. No drilling or permanent bodywork modification is necessary.
The provided paint protection film completes the setup by protecting areas that come into contact with the system.
A construction suited for adventure travel
The harness is made of high-strength Hypalon. Stress points benefit from reinforced stitching, while aircraft-grade alloy hooks and non-slip cam buckles ensure connection to the bags.
This design aims for versatile use, from trail riding to long-distance motorcycle travel.
Why choose the OS-BASE for Africa Twin?
For a 2021 or earlier Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin, the Kriega OS-BASE offers a lightweight and modular rackless luggage solution. Its expandable capacity, specific fasteners, and quick assembly make it a suitable base for adventure travel.
However, it is essential to check the year and version of the motorcycle before ordering: 2022 and later Africa Twin models require the OS-BASE Adventure Bike.
