Black Universal Hard Saddle Bag for Honda Yamaha Cruiser Trunk Luggage w/Lights Mount Bracket Motorcycle

The media could not be loaded.  These look great on my Yamaha V-Star 250. I'm very happy with how they turned out. They look like they are part of the bike, and not add-ons. The blinkers built into these saddlebags look good. I attached a video to this review. I was afraid these would wobble and bounce around a lot because of how they mount to the bike, but they're actually quite stable, even when they're carrying something heavy inside them. The mounting hardware is not flimsy at all, so if you tighten these to your bike well, they won't move much at all. I do recommend using larger washers inside the boxes to mount to the brackets. The washers they provide are very small, and don't keep the boxes as stable as I'd like.Be aware that you will very likely have to do some custom mounting for these, especially if you have a smaller motorcycle like mine. Every motorcycle is different and it's impossible for the manufacturer of these saddlebags to make them compatible with virtually every bike right out of the box. With some extra work and measurements and planning, you can make these fit almost any bike though.For the V-Star 250, if you try to mount these the way they're designed to mount, your rear suspension springs will be in the way. I had to modify the way these boxes were attached to the mounting hardware and drill custom holes into the boxes. I also had to uninstall the rear turn signals to make these fit, since the V-Star 250 has them right where you would normally mount saddlebags. The blinkers in these bags are a nice substitute though. Lastly, I had to use some bolt spacers between the rear fender and the mounting hardware, so the boxes would be straight and not warped, because the V-Star 250's mounting points are uneven.The only real couple of flaws I'll point out about these bags:• The material is kinda thin and cheap• The washers used inside the boxes to mount to the brackets are too small, and will actually pull through the rubber grommets if you pull hard enough...meaning your bags could potentially fall off your bike. Huge oversight by the manufacturer. DO NOT use the washers they provide for this. Go to the store and get much larger diameter washers. I used oversized fender washers, for added stability.• Sometimes closing the lids on these isn't perfect, especially if you had to mount them in a special way like I did. They will work but I have to sometimes close them carefully or they won't be shut properly.Overall though I give these 5 stars, because you are definitely getting a good bang for your buck with these and they look great. Just be ready to do your own work to make these fit right.

Very simple to install, only took a few minutes. I've not hooked up the lights yet though. The included hardware worked out great. They don't seem overly sturdy though. I do worry about them cracking.Overall I like them! I'm not too sure about the look on my 02 Honda Shadow. But they function as they should.Update: 03/03/24.I finally went to wire in the lights and learned there is nothing sealing the light lenses to the lid of the bag. Luckily I only rode in the rain once and all my stuff is sealed, so there was no issue. For anyone who gets caught in the rain and have equipment in the saddlebag, it'll likely get soaked. I took some sealant and ran it around the lens for now. But ultimately will be getting new saddlebags soon. After using these for a year, they've become too small for my liking.

Price greatLocks goodLooks nice on bikeSmall need to be wideLights burn out to quick

They came apart very easily. The wiring, for the turn signals was exactly what I needed. When I took it apart to repaint it. The lock came apart very easily and broke, but I contacted the seller and thankfully they sent me two brand new locks with another set of keys for free I highly recommend

Melted ar the bottoms, total junk, mounted about the exhaust pipes and still melted the plastics, I wouldn't advise anyone to purchase these Chinese made products unless you want a sandwich bag let down, they are very very small, but for the money it's not god awful, just don't expect them to last very long, not well constructed

Only downside was that I had to get four longer screws. It's mentions that they would be needed, could just add them in with the rest of mounting bolts. Pretty easy install, and easy to put where u want. Not stuck putting them in one spot.

Good for the price. Came earlier than expected. Easy to install, but did need to buy longer bolts. Overall satisfied.Only complaint is I feel like the measurements were a little mislead. I got them based on the measurements and by that size my laptop should have been able to fit no problem. The measurements are for the outer part and are correct. But remember the bag is not square... And internal storage size will not match as of it is. The bags are about 2 inches too short becuase of the light and how far down it goes inside the lid.

The media could not be loaded.  Combing a video site concerning my particular ebike , I saw hard saddles originally made for motor cycles being used by one posting. So, sez I, gives it a try. This I did as the photo shows. The ebike is a popular cargo bike with side running boards. I replaced the boards with ones I made as I did not want to put holes in the original wood finished boards. Only the two holes in the bottom of the saddles are used. The resulting mount is very sturdy as the rubber grommets provide a solid shock mount with very slight if any wiggle, and no noise or rattle during rides.One note .... more should be mentioned about the tail lights.Operating voltage range for instance.Please note this auxiliary market and expand to meet it. The mounting hardware is heavy overkill for a bicycle and none was used. As you can tell I am quite pleased with the saddle bags now that I can lockup my bike repair kit, pump and such, not having to put them in my pocket before I leave the bike to shop. Thanks for keen idea all around.
