I have those bags, and there are dream….. the pocket works great for a bottle holder…. After 2 years I had a problem with zippers…. Couldn’t find any to replace so I upgraded to hard shel bags…. And 2 years later I found zippers… lmao but I still have them for use when I need to !

i just got the exact same pair from amazon, but with a kinda carbon finish on them. i was hoping someone would have a review and fitting video posted. Thanks for uploading, i knew more or less how to fit them, was just wondering how the overall look would be, and how secure everything would be.

Got a very similar set off Amazon. Installed on a 2004 Buell Blast (500 single). The Amazon video doesn't have anything on the plastic forms that go in the bags, so thank you for that. The Buell has fewer anchor points for the bags on the right side. And, since it's a narrow bike, I had to dink around with how the straps fit under the seat more than you did. But I agree - for the $, they are quite a good deal. Thank you for the video!!

Those are identical to the “JIASPEED” ones i just got from ebay …theres like 7 buckle strap/clips im trying to figure out .mine came with directions that looked exactly like the direction card U flashed quickly in the beginning,but mine are in some asian writing with like 1 or 2 words in english below pics of straps that are miss spelled and or not helpful and theres no clear pics of the straps mounted… hence why im here,i paused video to comment. Hopefully further into video you have a “how to” as ive never had any sort of saddlebags before and to guess seems like ill end up spending half a day to “maybe” get it mounted correctly ….but probably still not 100% lol 🤦🏼♂️😜🤷🏼♂️

one of the worst saddlebags out there, didnt last me the 2 week riding vacation i had, the rain cover over got shredded when i rode the highway at 130 km. the connection points got torn up aswell had to resort to other fastening means. The zippers caught dirt and debris then stopped working. Worst purchase i've had in a long time...
@gregtoope6 жыл бұрын
I use mine strictly for commuting to work. So far they have worked very well. I put my hard bags on when I'm going on a longer trip, this way they are completely waterproof and are way more secure. Can't get into them without a key! You can't expect much more than a commuter set of saddlebags for the price.

I bought these in a deal on eBay. The bags themselves are fine as is the construction. They're cheap but aren't going to last for decades. My comment is to stress how utterly poor the strapping mechanism is. It is next to useless. Having side supports would certainly help, which I don't have, but I don't want to struggle strapping them each time I get on the bike to go on a trip. So, they're going back on eBay..

@@gregtoope Every bike may be different, but to show how you put them on your bike is necessary and absurd to leave out that detail. in other words, there should be video to demonstrate the different ways the straps and flaps can be used, otherwise this video really does not show anything except how they were packaged, what came in package and how they fit on your bike and behave on your bike. It does not show how to put them on your bike. "Before" and "after" views of bags off/bags on does not tell us how they were put on.
