You're gonna love em, you'll have them just in time for spring!

That's soo true about the bag journey, going the same route you did with some cheap ones, then Viking, and now I'm looking hard at these. I currently have Viking Bags and made them look as clean as I could, can never get them close enough to the fender for the cleanest look and the mounts are just ugly. After going through the rain a few times the lids begin to curl too. These bags however, look like they will dry easy if caught or run through the rain and i'm sure can be covered or protected if need be, but I'm SoCal, so no worries. Thank you for the 1 year review! What is that seat? $$

Oh damn. Thx for warning us about scratching your contents inside the bag. ISSUE: One of my lid snaps is now getting very loose after a year & half on my V3 EZ

I noticed the lids are different on EZ mounts, some have mentioned issues with the lids. I'd take it to a leather upholstery shop, they might repair it. Maybe reach out to LP

I just barely ordered these in leather...I had the Viking extra large Baldur, and the capacity just ain't what I know these will provide. I just hate the fact they don't lock, thinking I may just get a padlock for the zippers depending on how big the hole is.

Greetings from east bay, Fremont area. Right on. Thanks for your input and review. I'm installing mine today after waiting 11 weeks. For me, my concern would be the heating temps on the right side since I'm running a 2-2 exhaust setup (at this time). Not sure if the closeness of the top exhaust will heat up the material of the bags itself or any degradation will occur with time.

I haven't had any problems with my saddlebags. I did see some having problems with the lid buttons last year. The fixed that issue, but they've been making these bags for years. I wouldn't worry about it, they also have heat shields

^^ this, I noticed those heat-shields and thought that was what they were, very smart and thats probably what you're paying for as well, overall you get good storage, options, and extreme convenience/detach with what might be the cleanest look..

Is toss some felt fabric on that bolt to prevent damaging things being stored in the bag.

I have the ezmount retro bags and their great except for the snap on the leather cover. Me and those snaps have a love hate relationship, hard to get snapped, hard to open...like someone commented I've been tempted a couple of times to just take them off but I like they way they look...

I haven't had issues with the lids. Only at full capacity/extended was when I noticed some lid snapping issues. I keep them collapsed and have zero troubles with the lids. I don't know if they changed anything, I got mine from getlowered.com. I'd keep the lids on, or you could have them altered. I've seen Espinoza leather customizing these saddlebags.

Got v3 myself n well worth the money I spent. When you mentioned the gap on ur video, are you talking about the spacer from struts and beyond?

@InfamousCreep

3 жыл бұрын

Yes. On the front of the bag by the seat. The EZ mounts don't have such gap on the front, if that's the case why not make these the same? They're being marketed as M8 Softail bags, not need for exterior shock gap. I'm over it now, kinda lol

I would suggest a light coat of gun cleaning oil to protect the hardware from the elements.

They're easier to install and have better visibility with large LED lights. I have a video on installing strut lights, if you're avoiding the v3's because of the extra work. You also have moons tail light, which incorporates the signal lights into the brake light.

Does anyone know if there's an aftermarket company that makes black mounting hardware? I want the 4 mounting bolts sticking out of the rear fender struts to be black so they don't stick out as much when the bags are off the bike.

Could you get them power coated, I'm sure Leather Pros has a solution. Good chance Leather Pros have been asked for black hardware before, they could have an answer.

I hate the leather it comes with it, I ripped it off ... Hate it .. Now I can easily put stuff there n take out.. It was a really huge pain when I went to Vegas n had the bags full .. The leather was almost impossible for it to close .. N sometimes it would get stuck ... Or when they un clicked n started flapping all over the place when riding.... Just couldn't deal with that no more.. Had to remove the Leather... But now its worth it!

That's what I noticed as well, when you have them completely expanded you could have some trouble with the top lid. I think the top lid makes them rain resistant, but they're definitely not weatherproof. I forgot to mentioned that in the video hehe.
