From Longride ;)

Hey, sadly you need to consider where you ride and how you need to left the bike unattended. It's worth noting though that with the Sidekick system: 1. The bag can be locked onto the motorcycle. 2. The opening of the bag can be secured with a little padlock 3. It takes literally 3 seconds to take the bag off the bike to take it with you. So we're left with the scenario where everything is "secured" but the bag is left on the bike and someone motivated enough, with the right tools decides to cut it open... If you believe this might happen then definitely take advantage of the quick-release system to simply take the bag with you.

Good question, unfortunately we haven't tried that so far. We tested those on this Speed 400 and also on a Scrambler X but none had the Triumph rack fitted on :/. Let us know if you find out and we will update our infos.

@@the.longride I have now fitted them and it works with the original Triumph rack, but it is tight. With a few spacer sleeves and correspondingly longer bolts it's more comfortable

Yes, we have equivalent saddlebag holders for the RE Bullet and Classic, here it is: longride.com/collections/royal-enfield-moto-saddlebag-holders/products/royal-enfield-classic-350-saddlebag-holders

Hi! Very difficult to say, the W650 is a fairly older model and we haven't got a chance to try. However, it seems unlikely that the frame will be exactly the same from a 2007 or older W650 to a 2024 W800...

It's a 20mm 👍

This is due to the cost of the materials we use and crafting methods. Our leather and waxed-cotton are the "rugged luxury" kind - beautiful and very durable.

Probably last longer than me!

That's a Super Patriot SK in black.

Hi! You don't have to, we can mount the claw for you, or you can opt for an alternative universal system with no tools needed. Fitting the claw yourself as shown in the video has unique advantages however so we need to keep this option available.

Thanks for this comment. I have a 2016 answer was wondering

Thanks for the info, just pinned your comment ;)

Many thanks for your feedback, just pinned your comment!

Hi! We don't have brackets for your Honda specifically so I would look at our universal systems. Like a pair Mini Patriot SB for example that you mount directly on the frame of your motorcycle.

@@the.longride ok thanks

Hi! If upon installation the holders end up touching the springs, you can bend the holders away from the motorcycle to create a safe distance. It won't damage the holders if you shape them this way once.

Good point, will update the video description, we have to recommand checking the Triumph manual that comes with the motorcycle for exact Torque figures, as the saddlebag holders work across several Triumphs, and over several year models. If we find out that the same specs works across all models, we will update the video accordingly. Thanks!

Sure is a good suggestion to change the seat before embarking on longer rides too...thank you.

early on I found it uncomfortable, but after 20K it seems just fine for 450-500km. Maybe my butt has adapted??

@@murrayedgar4791 I think so!

Yes, most of the retro modern line up ;)

Yeah, any throw over.

Hey! Yes you can adapt the Longride claw to your own panniers, but you would need to find a way to reinforce their back for sure.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback, it depends on the bags basically, you can lock most of them. If you look up the Longride Racer for example, you can padlock the flap. On the Patriot saddlebag it will be a different technic but doable. Some panniers you cannot, so it's something to consider when choosing the bags if that is an important aspect for you.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. I'll say that the rider who shot this video has actually travelled all over France using that setup, however you are right, nothing beats proper saddlebag rail, or a frame to support the bags properly.

Hi, here are 2 models of Saddlebags that are available with the Loxx system and would certainly work with the Himalayan saddlebag holders: longride.com/collections/soft-retro-moto-saddlebags/custom-loxx-universal?sort_by=manual

Thank you vey much, cheers.

Hey, I know you can't install both our saddlebag holders, and the rear luggage rack from Kawasaki - it would be a very complicated design. But if you are referring to a back rest, then I don't know, we haven't been able to test that so far.

Hi! If you're asking wether this saddlebag can be mounted on a 2023 Triumph side rail, probably not, you'd need a different mounting system (which we have). Otherwise I am not sure what you mean by asking if our side rail will fit the new 2023 side rail?

Those are made by us Longride - and this particular saddlebag is the Super Patriot. The whole range is available here: longride.com/collections/soft-retro-moto-saddlebags

A straight-forward way to find out is to measure the center to center distance between the 2 mounting points. If that's 4.3" then it will work ! We need to do some testing on the next-gen models to make sure, but if you have one, check that distance and you'll know right away.

Sure, that's the Mini Patriot from us at Longride. The one I the video is the Sidekick version (which refers to the mounting system) here's a direct link to this particular saddlebag: longride.com/collections/soft-retro-moto-saddlebags/products/mini-patriot-sk?variant=40783948644515

We've tested up to the 2022 model - so we'd need to test that on the next-gen versions - but a straight-forward way to find out is to measure the center to center distance between the 2 mounting points. If that's 4.3" then it will work !
