How do I mount a saddlebag on a hardtail frame?

Mounting a hardtail saddle bag typically involves attaching it directly to the frame tubes or a custom-made bracket. Many riders use leather or heavy-duty zip ties to secure the bag to the rear frame section, ensuring it stays clear of the rear wheel and chain. Swingarm bags are another popular option that bolts directly to the swingarm.

Are your canvas and leather bags waterproof?

Most canvas and leather bags are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. They will protect your gear from light rain and road spray, but in a heavy downpour, water can eventually seep in. For 100% waterproof protection, we recommend using internal dry bags or packing your gear in waterproof roll-top bags inside your luggage.

What is the most versatile type of motorcycle luggage?

For custom bikes, a sissy bar bag or a versatile roll-top bag is often the most practical choice. They are easy to strap on and remove, can hold a surprising amount of gear, and don't require permanent mounting hardware, preserving the clean look of your motorcycle when you're not traveling.
