BikerAccessBikerAccess Braided Two Tone Slanted Motorcycle Saddlebags Throw Over Zip-off Studded Saddle Bags

I was hesitant about buying these for my 2019 Sportster Iron 883 because of the differing reviews. Just put them on tonight. I had bought supports to use with them and decided to forgo the hassle. I used zip ties in place of the strings that came with it. I’m actually impressed with them. Took them down the road and back for a 30 mile ride with speeds up to 65 mph and they hung on well. The eagles come as a pin and opted out of using them. Heat resistant plates on bottom of the bags. Drink holder inside with extra pockets. Keys for the buckles and padlocks for the bags to keep them from being removed from the throw over part. I have to say for the money they’re better then I expected.UPDATE: I’ve put 500 miles and up to 80 MPH on these bags and they’re still doing great.2nd UPDATE: Over 5k miles of using them. Still happy!

I was really hesitant on putting saddle bags on my 04 Dyna lowrider, because I dont like the look of them on some bikes. I am at the age were sometimes functionality out trumps looks. I can say that I am pleasantly surprised at the looks and performance of these bags. Stuff that I carry in them have stayed dry, and the bags have kept there shape. I was not to impressed with the cords that they supply to attatch the bags to the braces. I think you would have had to be a sailor and know some special knot. I just used heavy duty black ziptys to secure them to the brackets so the bags didnt move with the wind. I did not choose to drill holes into the bags either because I wanted to be able to use the quick removal option. One thing that should mentioned is that the pad lock that is supplied to keep your bags from being removed will rub on your fender. I wrapped electrical tape around the body to keep it from scratching the paint on my rear fender. Fyi They did not come with the eagle

This was for my 2015 Honda Shadow Phantom. Was pretty surprised at the quality for the price. I did infact get the eagle pins, I know some said they didn't. Pics of bags/bike and pins included. The strings were a bit of a pain to tie but that is mostly due to not much space for my sausage fingers. I did pick up some zip ties which will probably be a bit easier and will eventually use those instead of the strings. I like that they are not very bulky and the 2 tone goes fairly well with the colors of my bike. It comes with 4 little plastic keys that you can use to lock the buckles which is nice if you are worried about someone getting into your bags. The bags easily unvelcro and unzip and have handles if you want to take them off. There is a pocket on the outside wall of the inside of the bags that is the size of the whole inside and a stretchy loop with velcro that you can also use to secure various items with.

Look great, the grey doesn't match the grey of my bike exactly, but it looks close enough, and adds some character. With the Sundowner seat, the one front corner does rub the edge of the seat a little, but a black felt patch (soft side of velcro) on the seat there and it looks fine and will avoid damage to the seat. 800+ miles so far, no issues, 1" off my pipes and the heat resistant bottoms are holding true. Nice and sturdy, rode in poring down rain for 10 mins the other day and contents stayed dry...I do recommend changing out the locks with smaller ones. And as a note, I had purchased "soft bag mount brackets" for my bike, to keep the bags off the moving parts, and used zip ties instead of the string provided with these bags.

Decent saddlebags for the money. They look great and I get complements on them but are not big enough inside to fit my small work foldable lunch box and both work shoes. I split one shoe on each side and have my work vest in with the other shoe. They did end up wet inside during a light rain, which sucked because they do close down pretty tight, but I can unvelcro the side flap and slide in energy drinks so they are accessable even locked. I used cable ties to secure them to my hard bag brackets, and getting my seat back on was a huge PITA!
