Five Steps You Should Keep in Mind When Buying Motorcycle Bags

By Harry Alan


You can save the frustration and funds by simply reading this article and setting up a better buying decision. The 5 features a saddlebag must have are as following.

Lock ability: It may sound a lot but beginnings with the easiest one i.e. lock ability. By now you must have guessed it right. Having saddlebags that lock will give you a piece of mind. In the end, your helmet and jacket should be safely locked when you visit your neighborhood bar.

Mounting hardware: The other important feature of saddlebags is mounting hardware. I have to admit never install saddlebags on a motorcycle without the mounting hardware. Perhaps the cheap throw over bag that come with stings to tie the crooks to shocks and underneath the seat should never be used without hardware. Mounting hardware ought to be the responsibility of the seller of the saddlebag. Although it should include the bags but I think even if the manufacturer charges you for your hardware it is fine. A bike rider should never be left to understand the semi complicated procedure for mounting the bags over a bike by firms that claim to be professional saddlebag manufacturers.

Quick release buckles: Third thing to bear in mind while purchasing a set of saddlebags is the quick release buckles. It's not very easy to open a big leather bag again and again. Quick release buckle often known as easy locks present you with easy access to the inside the saddlebags.

Reinforcement: The fourth the first thing to take into account is re enforcement. Some of you might be wondering what that's. Everyone who has riding reference to one year and more understands that leather is in fact an epidermis of an animal and it also tends to sag after some time. However the bags which were reinforced with a metal frame aren't any subject to such problems.

Detach ability: The past and important factor to keep in mind is to have bags that come off the motorcycle easily. Almost all of you would agree you don't want to see the saddlebags on the motorcycle constantly. Developing a way to take them out the motorcycle under short while would be a feature the saddlebags must provide.
