Voyager Motorcycle Saddlebags

Worked as advertised at a very reasonable price.

Ordered the bags for my cruiser and was thrilled with the quality and construction of the bags. Very good value for money and very versatile with zip out expandability and included weather covers. Understanding that installation for each bike will be different, the instructions included are pretty much useless so you will be on your own to figure it out. Descriptions are fair but included pictures are so small they are pretty much a wash. That being said, you should be able to figure it out on your own. Overall a great product and am very pleased with the bags but instructions included could use work. One last suggestion is they could have provided some quick release buckles for the webbing instead of having to make ugly knots.

I put these on my 2008 GS500F. These seem pretty good so far. Used for one small grocery haul . Very easy to install.. might take a couple of tries to keep the straps from sliding down onto riders seat... but that will vary from bike to bike. they are not the biggest and I do wish they were a little taller but so far so good, all the zippers work well and they keep their shape which I like. Good value me thinks as I was looking at some other sub $100 bags that were bigger but not sure if they were better. So far so good

Well made sturdy construction -- for fabric bags. The material is decent quality and the stitching is good. The zippers are a little sticky but do the job if you are patient and gentle. The expand-ability is great for bulky items but don't expect to haul home a large load of canned goods or text books, the weight will just fold them in towards the rear wheel! (I highly recommend installing side bag brackets even for lighter loads).

They are a good option for carrying rain gear, a change of clothes, etc. In dry weather. Even after spraying with Scotchguard and installing the supplied rain covers, they can still get pretty wet inside during a heavy rainstorm, even parked. If you need to keep stuff dry, ditch the covers and use canoe packs inside instead.

Fortunately they are easily detachable. Unfortunately they are even more easily detachable by thieves. Don't leave anything valuable in them unattended. In fact, it's probably not a good idea to leave the bags themselves unattended.

These can't be compared to hard panniers and trunks, but they are a great alternative to wearing a backpack -- no strain on the rider and the weight is kept low where it belongs. A great alternative for students or occasional use.

We've used ours for a couple of trips, and so far we find them well-designed and highly functional.

A couple of details - like the one fussy plastic buckle and the skinny over-the-seat straps - reveal that this is not a premium piece of equipment. Otherwise you'd never know how little we paid... these bags look more expensive than they are.

One warning: As with most throwover bags they do need something to hold them away from the tire, and this proved to be a bit of work with my Yamaha MT09. First I had to relocate the turn signals, so the bags wouldn't interfere with the passenger pegs. Then I had to McGyver a support bar that's easy to remove when not in use. No problem if you enjoy puttering in the garage as I do, but not so good if you're looking for a plug & play experience.
