Vivid Black 60L Large Hard Saddle Bag Trunk W/brackets For Motorcycle Compatible With Harley-Davidson Dyna Honda Suzuki Kawasaki Yamaha Cruiser

First off, you get what you pay for. These are about a third of the price of some other hard bags. They look good and are finished well. The drawbacks are that they are not what I would call heavy duty. The walls of the bags are about the same thickness as a 5 gallon bucket and might be made of the same material. The hinges and latches fit very well but seem fragile. It uses a piece of stretchy rubber as a retention device so the lids don't open to far. I don't see them lasting very long. Bottom line is that they look good and will function fine but I will have to be somewhat gentle on them. They made sense for me to put on my old motorcycle rather than spend 500-1000 dollars on a name brand set. BTW I added the luggage racks myself. They do not come with those.

Bought these for my 2001 Dyna Low Rider. Installed today. First thing first. I did not expect to have to go to the store and get bolts, nuts and washers for where the brackets mount to the bike on the back fender. That is partly why the whole process took me all day to complete. Since I was already getting bolts, I decided to also get some rubber washers, lock nuts and extra washers to ensure that things are cushioned and so that there would be no chance of bolts coming loose. (Highly recommend). The instructions that come included with these bags are not the best. I recommend watching a YouTube video of of someone else installing them before beginning. The quality of the bags is not bad. I’m pleased with the new latches that they come with now as you can secure them closed without having to lock them. The mounts are as good as I could have asked for. I decided to cut off the end of the rear mounts with a cutting disc on either side as they stick out below/ behind the bag and that was not aesthetically pleasing. ( Again, they’re universal and this is diy. ) I’d recommend them for any bike close to the size of the Dynas or smaller. For the money, I’m happy. We’ll see how they hold up.

Have had the bags for a whole season and have ridden about 3500 miles with them at high speeds and low speeds and they have help up well for the price. I would get again. Not the biggest bags on the market but I like it so it give the bike a nice trim look inside of heavy in the back end. Easy to install with basic tools and yes you have to drill your own holes and align everything you self. Nice part you can put them as high or low as you want

I'm a DIY type so I liked the fact that these bags didn't have any predrilled holes, since I already have a set of my own design saddlebag mounts. They are a replacement I decided to purchase for the smaller hard bags made by the same company. I decided the medium sized bags just weren't big enough and they had some hinge and lock issues I didn't care for and I'm wishing I had purchased these from the beginning because they fit my bike much better and the locking mechanism and hinges are a lot better. They look really good on my Customized XV700 Yamaha and being black, they are a perfect match to my bike. While some may balk at "plastic" bags, my experience with the medium bags has been that it's pretty tough material that maintains a nice shine. All in all these are very good low cost bags for bikers on a budget and they look really good.

I like the locks and durability. So far no issues. Holds up well even in the heavy rain. They do move around a bit but they do have rubber bushings that you put in where the bolts go. But all around good quality and not very expensive. I would buy these again if needed.

Only problem I have is that the locks and locking mechanism are EXTREMELY CHEAP AND MICKY MOUSE Update the bags are starting to tear themselves apart from the vibration.

These hard saddles were a pain in the ass to install, they came dipples in the center of the lid, cheap locks, and the brackets allow the units to bounce on bumps, Bought them for groceries, hopefully they can handle the weight. I will update my review whether i get to eat or have to pick up my dinner off the pavement. not even 2 months go by and the riveted lock tab is coming loose and the rubber grommets are deteriorating, changed rating to one star.

The install took me about 3 hours, instructions weren't terribly useful but I didn't expect them to be. The bags look great on my bike, and add a fair amount of storage. They are thin plastic, not as bad as some of the reviews make them out to be, but still thin. I will be careful how much weight I put in them. I used the included mounting kit, it is functional. I used one of the mounts to measure the holes for all of them, I don't think that gave me the best results, I think would have been better off measuring each mount, I think there are small discrepancies. If you buy them, I suggest making a cardboard mockup of the side you are putting the holes in, and mount that first.
