Hi, I'm Bob LaRosa. Welcome to Fix My Hog. An issue that typically arises, whether it's a short trip or a long vacation ride, where do you store your excess jackets, gloves, anything else you may be carrying along? I went on denniskirk.com, that's the first place to always start when you're doing some type of research for a particular component for your motorcycle. Went and did a quick search under "saddlebags", came up with a great company, Saddlemen. This company is owned and staffed by riders. Their combined experience not only gives us a superior product that fits well, but they offer a great value to go along with a great-looking product. The Desperado saddlebag with the buckles and the riveted studs. Saddlemen also offers matching seats for a majority of their saddlebag configurations. All the bags are made of high-quality products. They are weather-resistant. They clean easily with a damp cloth. Saddlemen as a company is located in California. The back of the bags are directly molded of a high-density polyethylene. They go directly to a mount bracket, which comes with their new quarter-turn locking system. So it makes them quick-detachable. You can put them on the bike, go where you have to. When you arrive, you can remove the saddlebag with the handle as a piece of portable luggage. You can see all the quality that comes in with the buckles, the locking mechanism. It has a double-latch plastic lock that also has a key for added security. The complete instructions that are supplied with all the bags make for a simple installation. All the kits come with all the hardware, all the mounting brackets. Most of the kits even come with a turn signal relocation kit. Let's say you have turn signals that happen to be in the way when you go to mount the bag onto the motorcycle. They come supplied with a turn signal relocation, wiring and additional brackets. When it comes to saddlebag construction and quality Saddlemen is second to none.
