BIGGER IS BETTER! Touring bags on my Low Rider ST!

[@MotoBlonde]

Would you swap out your bags for these?

[@AlvinJohnson-dr7px]

Absolutely! I have the exact same set up. It’s way better than the stock bags. Now the bags are even and they have way more space!

[@Scotsman_on_the_Road]

Oh YES, if only!

[@BaBcs]

Can you link the saddle bags in the comments? i need these

[@patrickhollis5332]

For sure I would the Lowrider is sharp with that fairing they used but I still wished they still used the Dyna oh well they didn’t but that bag is going to get HOT

[@chainshishd9127]

@MotoBlonde thank you so much for sharing this. I've been looking at the LR ST but the stock bag's are hot garbage as one person said. I have a 2013 RG ultra. Do you know if you can install a radio on the LR ST? That would make my mind up if I can install a BT radio on the LR ST.

[@peterdoherty7282]

They look great Heather and the fact they are the same size has calmed my OCD down! Thank you!

[@travisolson2841]

Since the 1st time I saw those bikes, I have said they should have come with the normal touring bags. Looks so much better

[@timnevitt2993]

thought the same thing

[@blondeonwheels]

I have a Sport Glide with those clamshell bags. I got the soft HD luggage inserts for them so I can jam all the things in the bags and then they just slide in the clamshells. So nice for travelling too - just grab the handles and all my stuff gets transferred into the hotel room :)

[@franklinlucaslima]

It is incredible how much more you can fit in those bags when you use the liners you’re mentioning. AND you can still carry some stuff outside them - I for example keep some tools and rain suit outside them and it all fits just fine

[@MotoBlonde]

I was totally going to get those!

[@bigj200016]

I just bought the Hogworkz version of the saddlebags for my 18 FLSB. Had the tourpack for a while and love it. Just waiting for a couple tools to remove my passenger footpegs

[@keithwatkins2643]

Having the option to change to those touring bags is a game changer. I would definitely change the stock ones to those bags. It makes the bike look better. Great video and nice bike.

[@Ironmountain81]

I put advanblack touring bags on my heritage and the wifes faboy back in 2016.good stuff!

[@MotoBlonde]

Awesome!

[@MotorsandMetal]

Thanks for the video! I have a Softail Standard, and I want to make it a little bit better for longer distance, so I've decided to add some Low Rider bits, and then I saw these bags and it's a game changer. The bags look great, you earned the sub for sure!

[@justin.s9783]

To me that is how the LR ST should have came from the factory. Another thing to consider is if a clamshell bag fails all your stuff will fall out. A top loading bag things could fly out if they're light but still more secure. I won't say how hot it is in tampa but I seen 2 Hobbits toss a ring in a backyard...🤣🤣🤣. Good vid

[@MotoBlonde]

Good point! 🤣🤣🤣🤣that’s hot!

[@AyaWetts]

I don't know how bike makers don't understand we need BIG bags... lots of storage... there is a lot of stuff to take with us :-)

[@Frank_Torre]

Thank goodness you didn't have to relive the Great Spring Hunt in the garage. Suffering that same problem I'll never install passenger pegs on a Harley ever again.

[@MotoBlonde]

🤣 live and learn

[@jonbusby3881]

I just like how you really care about your audience can you come up with a really good ideas, the bags are a great idea, I have STLowrider and just saw this video tonight, I appreciate it thank you very much thank you

[@MotoBlonde]

Appreciate it!

[@markmcintosh7095]

I have an st also that's a big improvement. Great video thanks.

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

Weather Guy from Jim Jeffries! I thought it was downpouring at first! Just come to the RoadGlide...dooooooo it

[@MotoBlonde]

🤣

[@anthonyporter5379]

These Advanblack bags are a huge improvement in style and functionality over the stock LRST bags 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@MotoBlonde]

🙌

[@Tom1812]

Would look real good with some sort of filler panel to go between the bags and the rear fender

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Bike looks great. Can’t wait to see what you got coming ride safe and enjoy.

[@NVARider]

Bags look great! I hear a lot of good things about Advanblack. Gonna be picking up a tour pack from them in the neat future.

[@MotoBlonde]

Love our tour packs from them!

[@thomasritz4863]

You do you girl! Totally agree that the bigger bags are a must. Plus being inseam challenged myself I am looking at trading in my Street Glide on a lowrider ST. Will never part with my softail slim but the Lowrider ST will probably fit me for touring. Bigger bags look better and are more functional...

[@travelinben1966]

Great upgrades.I,too,am on the fence between this and the Road Glide,however,this video is making me lean more towards the LRST.Look forward to your future videos.Thank you.👍

[@infini1970]

They look really good. I'm putting this on my short list if I get the Low Rider S.

[@MotoBlonde]

🙌

[@tld522]

I got a set of those touring bags on my bike . I love mine they are so easy to deal with. I also heard that new york accent come thru a few times in this vid....lol😂😂😂 great content!!!!

[@MotoBlonde]

Haha thank you!

[@SledNutHamy]

Funny...my wife runs a Sportglide (she's a shorty too 5'2") and she hated those clam shell bags. So we built/fab'd a set of brackets & installed the "proper" hard bags on her bike. Would have been a little easier, had these brackets been available back then. Anyway...Bike looks great now (yours & hers lol)

[@MotoBlonde]

That's awesome!

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I joined the Adam Sandoval Convoy .. on my Metric bike .. Some dude with a Harley at the Ft Wayne Dealership had a loose passenger Peg which also held on his brackets for his side case.. He kept loosing a circlip .. Needed a big Allen wrench .. My Metric Allen Wrench was close enough is size to tighten the bolt back up . Always use Loctite on all bolts and screws on Harley's . or they will vibrate lose for sure.

[@freddetro7020]

Okay, I'm new here and I don't know what you have and have not tried. So... Ciro 3D makes 60L waterproof bags, both vertical and horizontal. With a sissy bar added, you could easily have one vertical bag or two stacked horizontal bags on the passenger seat. Or with your tour pack, you could have a horizontal bag, if you added a luggage rack, and a vertical bag on the passenger seat. This would give you plenty of storage for camera equipment and clothes, I would think. Just an idea if you haven't thought of it yet. Hope it helps.

[@MalcolmHarvey]

I love the new bags, much more practical.

[@lastnline1]

Wow what a difference with the touring bags on the LowRider 😮

[@bikerbrinrac]

Cool looking bags, nice lining. That gap should be fine between the bar & exhaust. Your mic seems all good. The new tinted brake light cover and bag lights will be cool.

[@MotoBlonde]

Can't wait to put the lights on!

[@bradleygoodrich5569]

Thing i dont like about the clam shell bags vs the road glide bags is the clam shell latch is harder to work and can sometimes come undone. Road glide bags just make more sense by design. Regardless of available space

[@ejdtm]

So much better with those bags on it👍🏽👍🏽

[@MrTraewilliams]

I would rather have these over the stock ones for sure 💯✌🤟🤘

[@coastemac]

Those bags made the bike look incredibly better !!!

[@nicknnr6493]

love your videos , it is cause of you that I do work on my bike . 2020 low rider s . I followed your video for the moons mc tail light. I also just put hard bags on it . Went with viking bags . they are perfect .

[@MotoBlonde]

Awesome!! Love to hear that!

[@palmettolowlife1996]

Put some 6x9 Rockford fosgates & Amp inn those lids ! You’ll be the first one I bet to do so.

[@MotoBlonde]

Now THAT is a good idea! Between those and the @rockfordfosgate system I have in the fairing, would be awesome!

[@DrHarley]

You can get Anthony's bag latches powder coated for less than the cost of replacement black ones. Or you can do any other color..

[@MotoBlonde]

Good to know!

[@ecowboy77]

Honestly, I was hoping you would do the touring bags. Looks great!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Advanblack, making some excellent stuff, color matched, way more affordable than HD!

[@MotoBlonde]

They rock!

[@brokenspokes6731]

Back in the old days if it didn't fit on the bike - you didn't need it. But in today's world god forbid if you forgot the hair dryer..lol The Advanblack bags look great but I will stick with my st side bags for the time being. I will be ordering the tail bags to add on my st. Great video and information.

[@jonnyp500]

Looks so much better with the tour pack!

[@davidnicholson4263]

Looks great on that bike. But I'm 99% sure my leatherpros look more appropriate on my softail standard. Ur ST is awesome 👌 awesome

[@MOTOR_1isMoving]

I get your need for more luggage space, but the bags look disproportionate to the bike. It doesn’t look horrible, but they look a little too big for the bike IMO. Function over form so I get it. Glad you like it and that’s all that matters.

[@nomadmatt8020]

Good to know I'm not the only one that turns their ST (RG here) into a touring bike lol.

[@juanhuttoe4517]

Looks great. I was checking those out for my fatboy. Gonna have to change the exhaust so it'll be a bit

[@bigj200016]

I have a 18 SportGlide. They’re very similar bags other than being not as different in sizes between the two. Just bought the Hogworkz version of the same thing. Only thing that worried me is that AB said theirs only fit the LR/LRS/LRST and the Street Bob. Hogworkz says theirs fits everything except the Standard and the SportGlide for… reasons? Now just waiting on long torx bit sockets from Amazon to show up so I can get them on the bike. I love my AB tourpack and their customer service has been second to none. I’ve had issues with it coming open on me and they’ve sent me 2 different latches and an entirely new tourpack, thinking the plastic may had cracked. On top of that, I saw them in Sturgis and I think they finally figured out the issue

[@robertdunaway9872]

I like the new bags on your bike. They look great! My 5000 mile service is coming up on my Streetglide if you're not busy. Lol

[@MotoBlonde]

🤣

[@justkillnbugz]

Very nice! Looking to do the same on my Heritage and possibly the LRST, great info and nicely done, even in the heat, lol. And go ride a Rocket 3 R, and film it,lol.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!! Oh man I’d love to 🤣

[@randyweitzel5071]

Hi, really like your videos, most current your one on changes to better bags. I see you are going to replace the tail light. Please don't, I had that one a beautiful lowrider and had alot of complaints from drivers they could not see the signals or the brake light when I was riding. Just my opinion I wanted to share. Be safe. Sincerely Randy

[@tennesseebound6597]

How do you like the bags, they look awesome!! I can’t wait to see the lights, why not just use the bag lights by themselves and not with an integrated tail light. Exactly which bags are those, are they the stretched or standard i was looking on there website not sure which ones you have. Thank you

[@shuwtist1]

Great video, made me decide to make the change. I hate the clamshells so far. I am curious though, how have the bags handled the heat from your exhaust? Is it an issue? Thank you for your informative videos!

[@MotoBlonde]

No issues so far!

[@davidalbien7518]

yes I would get the bags that you got did you have to talk to Advanblack to have them custom made for you? They are not on the web site just looked. Because I would change my exhaust to get those bags no problem.

[@myclassiccarstory]

I will only use Leatherpros on my motorcycles. Just way too much storage space with them compared to the hard bags.

[@MotoBlonde]

They have everyone beat with storage space for sure!

[@bretthenson9447]

Such an Improvement I think , Advan Black doing some really great aftermarket products now . I could Really do with 2 of those Saddlebags RIGHT NOW (Gauntlet Grey) , I hit a 40 kilo Kangaroo 3 weeks ago on my Sportglide and the Left Hand Side Outer and Inner are Wrecked an the Right Hand Side Outer is needing a bit of putty and jam too. But now I am probably going to be forced to buy my own Repairable Write Off back for some Ridiculously Stupid and Low amount from the Settlement Payment ,Yeah GOOD ONYA (My INSURANCE COMPANY) . Thanks for taking nearly 2 years of my Fully COMPREHENSIVE Insurance Policy Premium Payments ....Yeah Thanks A F*#@ing Lot , The Bike only hit a Kangaroo and slid down the road 30mtrs it's Not a Big Ask to just Get Parts to Fix ya Know.

That looks great!! Nicely done!!! 10:19

[@MotoBlonde]

[@bigbob21]

Did a very similar setup to yours... running nasty hog chopped bags and I put touring LED strip lighting under the covers as well. Wiring was a bitch tho... had to buy a 2013 to 2014+ touring wiring conversion kit bc the leds run off of the modern touring connector and the softail uses Harley's older wiring bcm...

[@MotoBlonde]

How do you like those bags?

[@bigbob21]

@@MotoBlonde no complaints! They look sharp! I made the mistake of ordering them without hardware tho… forgot to click that button 😂 installing the entire locking/hinge mechanism wasn’t fun. I think they offer them with hardware installed now 🤷‍♂️

[@raymondraymondjr6463]

Lmao …. When u said that the bracket goes where the passenger pegs do because I almost threw those passenger pegs over a roof cause of how much trouble they gave me to put on …. I told myself these are never coming off

[@cody3665]

Can’t wait to scoop up the advanblack bags and a color matched inner fairing for my low rider st!

[@revjimmyjam3611]

Those look nice for sure. I wonder though, do those actually have more space than the leatherpro's? I love the Low Rider ST. It is a mini-bagger for sure, and that is so cool for us vertically challenged folks.

[@MotoBlonde]

Leatherpros have more space for sure.

[@darknessroadking]

Dope video, the stock bags look like they belong on the ST and in my opinion look better than the rounder ST stock bags. You got a new sub.

You can piece them together here, you pick the bags and add whichever lids etc you want. If you need the bracket that is separate on the site as well. clcr.me/advanbags

Those new bags give you so much more room for activities 😅

[@cisa1622]

if you are concerned about visibility of lights the harley OEM turn signals and lights gives a better awareness to the truck behind your bike. there is a scientific reason behind OEM specs approved . even the straight number plate is faster noticed than those curved slanted plates . All these third party companies do not have the knowledge of safety requirements.

[@kymeryobryon834]

Ahhh so the only way to go this route is to go 2/1 pipes ok i can do that!! but then I also noticed you can't take the bags off instantly. ughhh and i absolutely hate the clam bags!!

Im not sure how the bag will stand the heat from the exhaust, but that does look killer.
