I need something that I can get on and off the bike with ease, multiple times a day. Big enough to carry phone, camera, notebook, small set of tools. Preferably waterproof - & not too expensive.

I liked the look of the Kriega US5 but I don't think it will fit the FZ6 rear seat.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I was under the impression that the US5 couldn't be used as a tail pack...?

I have the US10 and it works great! Keeps my stuff bone dry (so far) plenty of space, without being too large either.

Try a Baglux cover and tank bag, much better.

I have an FZ6 and the US20 fits absolutely perfectly, and its a great bit of kit.

I have a kriega US 10 and a US20

Both fitted my FZ6 Fazer perfectly when I had it. Not that cheap but I've had both bags in regular use for years now.

I took Kriega tailpacks on holiday on my gixer, so long as you have a pillion seat that you can remove you can use Kriega stuff. Or just bungee them in place.

Remove the shoulder straps, waist strap goes around the seat, add a bungee.

Also fits my bagster tank cover with a minor modification.
