Thank you for the nice video. Last year got some throwover bags for my Stryker and didn't have the brackets like you got and they sagged into my belt guard and had to replace it and even busted a hole at the bottom of one. Got some brackets and gonna slap those on so I could have luggage options on my ride. Ride safe
Thanks for watching. Yeah there are a lot of throw over bags out there, but to really be safe and keep your bags/bike from getting messed up, having brackets or some type of support to keep them from sagging into the bike is best. Enjoy your new setup.
Thank you so much for this video. I just put the saddlebags on my fiance's bike. She of course had to come out and put her two cents in but I didn't need her help lol
+Eustace Peppercorn I've heard more about the stitching on the zippers. However, a company like Nelson Rigg has a lifetime warranty so they have you covered.
Hello, yes you could. You would just need to make sure the bags are secure and not flopping around and the yoke it tight on the fender and not sliding around.
Good morning question what fiberglass saddlebags work on a 2011 Heritage Softail Classic without having to change the backlights and predrilled holes thank you Stan
I have an sv650 and my bags are Rapid Transit. They have two Velcro straps for the yoke. Is it ok if the front one is outside of the rear seat as I don’t think I can move the bags further back or if it wouldn’t damage the locking mechanism having so much tension on it. It’s about a 1 1/2” - 2” wide strap so it’s not likely to pull apart
Hello, without looking at it first hand, it's hard to give a definite answer. But if it mounts securely and doesn't interfere with anything or look like it will damage the surface of your fender, then it seems ok.
What protects the paint on the rear fender for times when you want to remove the passenger seat? I have custom paint on my Harley -Davidson and dont want the rear fender all scratched up.
So I've not been able to find a video where you install throw over bags without a back, do I really have to go by a passenger seat luggage rack just to secure throw over bags. is I possible can someone throw a link my way,
Hello, sorry we do not have a video of that setup but it can be done. Just be sure to use some kind of pad or protection between the saddlebags and fender to keep the bags from marring/marking up the fender. Also be sure to secure the bags so they don't move around or drift into the rear wheel.
+Sreeraj Kalappurakkal I'm not sure that I understand your question. The only tool shown was a T-handle, which Eric used to remove the rear seat. The saddle bags shown did not require support brackets because they have a hard backing. He recommended a few brands that make supports if you were installing soft bags. Hope this helps, thank you.
That makes sense now, so if I buy a saddle bag with hard backing, I need not get any extra parts to support it. Do you have any recommendations for a good Saddle bag? I ride a 2014 Triumph America
+Sreeraj Kalappurakkal I would take a look at Willie and Max, Tourmaster and Mustang products. They are very popular and have a great assortment of bags. I would also recommend that you measure you bike to see what size you'll need. Additionally what type of style.
Hi! on the right side of the bike, just below the seat, there's a key hole. Use the key to your bike and it should be just a quarter turn. The seat will then pop off the latch
Your shop is good and your services are good, but I think you have a big problem in international messaging, there are other sites much easier to deal with. Just a point of view
Hello, thank you for pointing that out. We are in the process of updating our website and will be better able to serve our international customers when it's complete.
Essentially yes. The yoke of the saddle bags is locked in by rear seat, the bags are supported by the bracket and the straps are looped through secure areas on the bike. Unless the storage bags are hard cases, this method for mounting is used across the board.
Chaparral Motorsports they are a set of universal fit I got from amazon, let's see if I can post a link. Motorcycle Throwover Saddlebags Plain with Locks Slanted Saddle Bags amazon.com I have a Honda shadow 1100cc 2002
Ok got it. So, the brackets are an extra safety measure to prevent the bag from sagging into the wheel as mentioned at 1:08. The bag simply rests on the bracket and is essentially a stopping point. On your Shadow 1100 , the wheel is completely exposed so it might be a good idea to install them.
Being a bearded man as well i couldn't even pay attention to the saddlebags. I just keep skiing my self why this guy shaved his beard like this? Or is it like a glue on bread? I don't get it! Why?!?!
