Universal: Riding Bags/Luggage Thread

Re: Universal: Riding Bags/Luggage Thread

My experience is a little different. I've been using the Seaty v1 on my R15 and v2 on my R3.
While the inner mesh and compression cords on the sides are useful, I find the double strap design of the v2 causing it to sag to one side when loaded. It's pretty secure from the bottom though.
Not sure if I'm trying it wrongly or there is a way to tighten it further.

While discussing with friends about motorcycle riding bags, for my RE classic 500, I found that very few took it seriously and gave some good advice about bags. High Note Performance is a good shop to buy riding bags as most of the people suggested me to buy it from High Note Performance. High Note Performance is a trusted brand which provides the high-quality accessories for bikes and its riders. Visit the website and find the products of all the top brands related to bikes and its riders.

I bought Viaterra Seaty a month back and used during my ride to Kodai. Exteremely handy stuff this. Has decent space. Can carry camera, few towels etc.

Its fairly easy to mount it (as a tailbag) and stable during high speed runs.

The only issue is when the bag is full and tall, you might entangle your leg while mounting on the bike. This can be embarrassing as I found out

Try getting on like you would mount a horse.
(1) Put your left foot on the left footpeg
(2) Stand up on that foot, and simultaneously kick your right leg over the seat.

You can get on the tallest motorcycle with the widest saddle bags this way. But obviously, the bike has to be parked on stable ground and your side stand should not be too flimsy.

Hello,

Do have a similar post in the dedicated thread for my bike. Posting a different flavour to get an unbiased opinion on luggage options.

Background: My existing touring setup- I currently have a 42L top box from Shad SH42 and do not have the budget for matching panniers

So I've moved on to saddle bags and shortlisted the following. They are-

1) Dirtsack Boomerang 25L at 3650- https://www.dirtsack.in/produc...ges...re/saddle-bags

2) Rynox Drystack 30L at 3450- https://www.rynoxgears.com/pro...yno...ddlebags-black

3) Dirtsack Frogman 28L at 6100- https://www.dirtsack.in/produc.../di...dirtsack-store

4) Rynox Expedition 32L at 5250- https://www.rynoxgears.com/pro...ped...ags-matte-grey

Could you guys help me finalize based on your experiences with any of the above products. If it helps, I am looking at these for my Interceptor 650 with stock up-swept exhausts. I may have missed out some better options(I'm new to bike luggage) - feel free to suggest alternatives

Thanks in advance [emoji4]
