Review on 🏍️ Ultimate Motorcycle Travel Companion: Kuryakyn 5281 Momentum Hitchhiker Weather Resistant Luggage in Black by Andargie Waiker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

and it was great. Lots of storage space for both clothes.

Just got back from a 1000+ mile ride on the Kuryakyn Momentum Hitchhiker and it was great. Lots of storage space for our clothes and snacks/water. I only have two small complaints that keep me from giving it 5 stars. First, the elastic around the rain cover needs some sort of drawstring or tie-down closure. We thought we were going to get caught in the rain so we put on a bow tie beforehand. And although it's attached to the bag at one point with Velcro (where it tucks into the fly compartment), it just elastically adjusts to fit the entire bag. After driving several kilometers at 80 miles per hour, he flew away. Luckily I spotted it right away and stopped and stuffed it back into the storage compartment. It would be better if there was a clasp or drawstring to tighten the fly. I think next time I'll use a bungee for extra security. The second issue is the water bottle pockets. "Elastic" doesn't really work. It's very sturdy and I wouldn't put anything valuable in these pockets because of the risk of it falling out. We only used small disposable water bottles and they didn't budge, but I wouldn't trust putting sunglasses or anything like that in them.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Good but not great
