Methodology:
We chose the saddlebags in this roundup based on classes of motorcycles and familiar, perhaps stereotypical, types of riders. Still, the traditional lines between cruisers, dual sports, standards, and sportbikes get hazier every year, and most riders know how and where they plan to ride regularly. The right bags for an interstate hauler with onboard ice coolers and heated seats are probably all wrong for a scooter or knife-edged naked urban road burner. The best saddlebag fits your motorcycle and what you need to carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are motorcycle saddlebags worth it?
If you want to travel any real distance on your bike, say a weekend cruise or overnight in another city, or if you want to use it for regular day-to-day tasks like shopping and commuting, then yes. Saddlebags allow you to bring a significant amount of luggage with you for a multi-day journey or a long ride, and they can make daily life with a motorcycle much easier.
How do I install saddlebags?
It varies by manufacturer and motorcycle but traditional universal soft bags straddle the seat and use adjustable straps, hook and loop fabric, buckles or some combination of the three to secure the load. Hard case bags generally mount onto a year, make and model-specific subframe or rack that stays on the motorcycle with the bags removed.
Are soft saddlebags better than hard bags?
It depends on how and where you ride, and how frequently you're going to haul things on long journeys. Soft bags are usually cheaper than hard bags but don't offer the same level of weather, impact and theft protection. Hard bags generally cost more and provide improved security, and can be key locked or removed from the mounting rack while the motorcycle is parked. For long journeys, like touring in a foreign country or riding cross-country in North America, hard bags are a much better bet.
Will universal saddlebags fit my motorcycle?
One size fits all over the seat saddlebags use an adjustable mounting system compatible with most standard or cruiser motorcycles, but exhaust and tire clearance is everything. Even if the bags say they're universal, you'll still want to leave some room for safety and stability. Figure on two inches minimum safe clearance between the exhaust, tires and the bags. Anything less is unsafe and can ruin far more than the bags.
What's the difference between a pannier and a saddlebag?
Cyclists, equestrians, and fellow riders may disagree, but both words are used interchangeably and refer to bags or cases that ride along on the sides of a motorcycle in parallel to the rider. You could split hairs and say saddlebags drape over the seat or saddle and panniers mount to racks, but it's a hazy distinction.
How much weight can my motorcycle carry?
Look in the owner's manual or for a frame sticker with motorcycle weight, Gross Vehicle Service Rating (GVSR) and tire pressures. Add the motorcycle, empty bags, fuel, oil, helmet, gear and rider weights together. Subtract the total from the GVSR for safe cargo weight. Play it safe. Tire blowouts can be fatal.
Do Saddlebags affect handling?
Yes. Any extra weight on the sides, rear, or top of the motorcycle can adversely affect handling and braking. If you're still new to riding, it's best to try out your saddlebags locally in good weather to get used to them before heading out on a long journey.
