Review on Nelson-Rigg SE-3050-YEL Sierra Dry Saddlebags - 100% Waterproof, Yellow, Perfect Fit for Adventure and Dual Sport Motorcycle Racks by Chris Floyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great heavy duty bag set

Nelson Rigg is my go to for quality gear that doesn't cost an arm or a leg. I used to have a generation of them and they have endured pretty serious adventures for over 5 years. I installed them on my F800GS (with Happy Trail shocks) and used them on a cross country adventure this spring. They stayed in place, kept my stuff dry and didn't mind tipping over. The all metal hardware is a nice touch as I have broken quite a few plastic clips on other bags. The inner ear tips work very well and are very comfortable. handy for getting things to and from the motel room. In fact, I like this system more than removing the whole bag, as bags are often covered in dirt and lugging everything into a hotel room is a hassle. The spacers between the pocket and the posts look a bit silly but they work. Fine. The only downside is that they don't breathe or expire. Therefore, after a few days, condensation forms in the bags. You just have to remember to air them out from time to time.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Big and bulky
