Review on YHMTIVTU Motorcycle Leather Luggage Sportster Motorcycle & Powersports by Jake Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good size for swing arm storage bags, well made and easy to assemble!

I replaced some very small swingarm bags on my Honda Rebel CMX500 with these (after the smaller bags started falling apart after a year). They are much heavier leather (as is the saddlebag's good thickness) and much larger than the skinny bags I've replaced! I'll leave them as swing arm pockets, but maybe rearrange them so they're more parallel to the ground? The idea wasn't to mount saddlebags and ruin the Rebel Sportsster's looks! Plenty of room for a raincoat, tools, gloves and maybe groceries... Okay maybe no groceries but it's good for a beer round! (Maybe six packs per side?) LOL! Machined the next day (after removing the swingarm pockets to make room for the rear passenger pins) and rearranged the swingarm pockets to be better parallel to the ground (see third image).

Pros
  • Saddlebags
Cons
  • Some small things
