Two Tone Braided Motorcycle Saddlebags

I permanently installed these on my 2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom with the saddle bag supports from Cavalry. The bolts run very large, even with the install over my sissy bar. I had to take the original rail trim cover washers and use them as spacers to take up some of the slack so the bolts didn't grind into my paint. I used an exacto knife to cut the stitching for the zipper and handle holding area on the back and ripped them off pretty easy. Then, I drilled through the back plastic panels and put some rubber washers inside and outside of the bolt holes. I may also put some larger washers on the inside bolt areas for more surface contact so they don't rip off. But for right now they are fine. They come with some string looped through some sewn in hoops to add extra support. I just used zip ties because they are stronger. Finally, I proactively put some rust inhibitor on all of the rivets, buckles, and buttons with some Q-Tips. It has been through a pretty heavy rainstorm here in Denver and has held up with no known water leaks and no rusting of the rivets. Good product, especially for the price. I can manage to fit my bike cover in one of them, just to give you an idea of the capacity.

They're kind of small. The metal divots rusted after being exposed to rain twice. Outside of that, no complaints... They work well, look nice and were not very expensive! Work fine on my 650 Vulcan.

These are, overall, well made but one of the locks for the quick-release buckles did not work from the start. I don't think that is a deal-breaker because I am not sure I would have ever used them. Manufacturer might want to consider getting rid of those cheap plastic locks and silly tiny plastic keys. There are also regular pad-locks to secure the bags themselves to the main unit but they are too big and they would scratch the finish so I removed them as well. Nice big size and good looking bags. They have a cover the snaps directly under the flap...from the side view that flap looks like a glass holder or a small pocket - that is NOT the case...it is just the closure system for the flap. Good rigid sides and back. Competitively priced and just the right size for my 2005 Shadow Ace 750.

Love Love Love these bags. They are gorgeous bags. They fit perfect on my VStar 650. They seem very well made and very sturdy hefty bags. I have had them on my list for a long time and finally bit the bullet and ordered them. I am not sorry at all and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I took pictures and posted them on FB and got compliments just on the pictures. It has been raining since I put them on so I haven't been out so people can actually see them but I know I will get lots and lots of compliments. If they fit your bike, buy them, you won't be disappointed.

Did not fit my style of motorcycle, as the mfg claimed.

I had to purchase saddle bag brackets to be able to install these correctly. I love the bags after using them. They are lockable also. I did not use the ties that came with them to attach them. I used little black zip ties and it is great. Fit on 07 Honda shadow 600 just perfect. It is right next to the tail lights. Overall pleased

Not bad at all. They seem very well made, and the covers have a little joint that goes across the front that should stop any rain from getting in, along with a flap that goes from the front and snaps in the rear. The tie downs are basically shoe laces but will do the job until you replace them with paracord or metal. We'll see how they hold up.

Did not fit my HD 76 sportster until I removed turn signals. But is nice looking can't wait to get new turn signals in so I can put this on my bike
