🛍️ Saddlemen 3501-0715 Cruis'n Deluxe Saddlebag Guard Set in Black Review

I ordered it after reading the reviews, I knew I would have to do some mods. I removed the latches and replaced them with a Chicago screw (don't forget to add a blue padlock). The bottle holder is practically useless. The idea came to me from another review, I bought a 2ft 3" diameter PVC pipe at my local Lowe's. I cut out two 5 inch pieces (I wanted to give the bottle extra support) and painted them black to match the pockets. I then cut two pieces of nylon strap lying around and screwed them…

The bags themselves aren't bad. Typical Saddlemen quality and quite well made. However, I encountered a few problems with my order. The first problem was that when I received my order, I was completely missing a bag. So I had to ask for a refund and exchange. Although I received the replacement packs quickly, I still had to return a lost pack which was quite a hassle. When it came time to install the packages, I found that the latches were too loose and wouldn't stay latched. If you even hit…

My bike: 1994 HD Road King. You buy these bags mainly to carry a drink for access while driving, unfortunately they are not suitable for that!

The bag itself is made of quality materials and compartments. Pay attention to how the inside of the bag rests against your paint/chrome as it will rub off…

These bags are easy to use once installed. They only hold a small amount, so don't plan on loading them with rocks or you'll hit the 1 pound weight limit. I put steel water bottles in each one and ride my bike. The water bottles were left in place. Problems: 1. Installation: They were difficult to install on my 2008 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. The material was too stiff and/or too short to fit around the fenders. As I tugged and stretched on the ends, the latches continued to loosen…

The cup holder is useless if you want to use it while driving. The cup holder is a very poor design. It would be very easy to build a working roller coaster. It has a mesh net with an elastic opening in two faux leather flaps that compress the elastic band once you take out the drink and you can't put the drink back into the mesh pouch. Requires two hands. When you drive and put the drink back and the mesh bag folds up, the drink falls straight to the ground. It would be as simple as that for…
