New Saddle bags By damin69 (Read 3,156 times)

Eventually I want to do Hard Saddle bags. But we have a long ride coming up August 13th and 14th so I really wanted some more storage on my scoot as these YY250T do not have much storage under the seat and the trunk is not that big either. Tunnel bag was a nice storage addition but I really like having the extra room of the saddle bags. I have a sissy bar coming and will take it up to the fab shop when I get it to have a custom mount made for it. I have a Nice back pack that slides over a sissy bar which is a lot more storage. I will post pictures of that after it gets done.

Almost forgot. I picked these up at Walmart of all places. My local does not have good stuff like this. I had to be walking around in the one near my dads house 90 miles away to stumble into this deal. They were $56. I know this is not super cheap but Not that expensive for what I have been seeing for prices either.

So on to the pictures.




Waterproof covers inside zipper compartment on each bag.

Nice find! Its funny how the all the different Wal-Marts will carry slightly different merchanise, especially when it comes to sporting goods and automotive. I haven't seen anything like those bags at any of the Wal-marts in my area, but I may have to go on a hunt. There are dozens of Wal-Marts within a short drive of my house.

I've got a couple questions if you don't mind.
How secure are those saddlebags to the bike?
Do they have straps to tie them down or do they just drape over the bike and get held by the seat?
Have you ridden with them on... do they blow around any?
What are the approximate inside dimensions?

[damin69]

Josh. They have lots of straps. I will take some pictures of they way I have them fastened tonight.

The do not blow around that much but I did notice when empty they do move a bit.

I do not remeber off the top of my head the Dims. I will post them up tonight also.

Thanks! No rush, its not like I'm going to run out and buy them right now. I'm still thinking I might try to get some hard cases for mine, but I always like having options. If they'll hold my work laptop, they'd definitely be worth considering.

I assumed they'd have some straps, but I only see the ones across the top in your pictures.

[damin69]

Not a problem. I was just doing a bit of digging on line and found them at a couple of places. Even there does not show all the straps that can be used to fasten them on. But one place did show the dimms. Here are the links to a couple of places that have them.

This one has the DIMS •Bag size: 15-1/2"quot; L x 6-1/4"quot; W x 10"quot; H

I'm impressed Todd. Walmart - you found them there? Not at mine that's for sure. Wow - they even match my jacket! Enjoy that long ride and be safe!

[damin69]

Ok on to more pictures.
So you can see by the pictures the dimmensions as well as all the straps and hooks for mounting.

hey big guy please show me what sissy bars look like and how much does the reconstruction of it cost.

[damin69]

Ok this is the picture of the sissy bar I picked up. I am not sure what the cost is going to be yet on the rest of the constructed bracket yet. I will post up final when it is all done I just got it in the mail yesterday. This piece I bought from a guy for 10 bucks. That is solid steel not tubeing. it is heavy.

I just found those saddle bags at my local Wal-Mart today. I didn't buy them, but I do know where I can find them, now.
