Product Description
Saddlemen Desperado Teardrop Saddlebags with Shock Cutaway

The exciting Teardrop style looks great and requires no signal relocation on most bikes, and is now available with the Shock Cutaway Design, for bikes equipped with twin external shocks. The cutaway allows the bags to be mounted closer to the center of the bike, narrowing the overall width over the bags. The teardrop design allows the stock turn signals placement to be utilized on most bikes, eliminating the hassle of relocation. Twin shock bikes usually require a saddlebag compromise- the bags either fit outside of the shocks (really wide!) or behind the shocks, interfering with turn signals. Here’s a better solution! These bags fit comfortably around your bike’s shocks, without making the bike unnecessarily wide. Also fits bikes with hidden shocks.
  • Desperado features stylish straps and chrome buckles, and adds chrome studs for a more traditional custom look
  • Chrome saddlebag supports and mounting hardware are included, so you don’t have to buy anything else
  • Install them one of three ways: 1) A yoke is included for over-the-fender mounting, or 2) easily remove the yoke and hard-mount the bags using the included chrome Saddlebag Supports, or 3) add Saddlemen’s S4 Quick-Disconnect Mounting Kit (sold separately) for a custom, rigid mount installation that enables the bags to come on and off in seconds
  • Turn Signal Relocator bracket included for those harder-to-fit bikes
  • Rigid bag construction holds its shape even when empty
  • Large internal elastic mesh pockets for maps, etc.
  • Zippered yoke attachment removes bag quickly, carry handle included
  • Yokes can be removed for rigid mounting as desired
  • Size optimized for bikes with external shocks:
  • Dimensions: 20.5" long x 12" deep x 6.5" wide

Robert Grenier Moosup,  CT Saddlebags The bags are great but the stuff inside gets a little wet in heavy rain. The quick disconnects are excellent...nice to take bags off.

Wayde Port Deposit,  MD Great bags! I installed them on my Harley Sportster, a 2008 XL1200C, and using Ghost Brackets. Great fit and the bags follow the lines of the bike.

Tamara Woodside,  CA Saddlemen - Desperado Teardrop Saddlebags with Shock Cutaway Installed on a Magna. The bags are nice. I like the double locks, hidden latch behind the more traditional looking buckle and the web net pockets inside. To anyone who wants to mount a Saddlemen bag on a Magna, know that no Saddlemen bag larger than a Large (and that's a maybe) will fit on your standard mounts, or the mounts sold by Saddlemen and Motorcycle Superstore. If you want a larger bag, be prepared to (1) move your rear lights, (2) move your exhaust pipes, (3) use 'ghost brackets' (about $200.00 per set), or (4) a combination of the above. I like Saddlemen bags; they're well made and have steaded me well on many a long trip (that's why I wanted to replace my old, broken little bags with larger Saddlemen bags). But fitting and installing larger Saddlemen bags on a Magna is not for the faint of heart, will or money.

Edwin Adams Saint Helena Island,  SC Saddlemen Desperado Teardrop Pleasantly pleased. Big for a Harley Sportster, but once turn signals are moved, it is fine. Looks good on the bike. Moving turn signals is work.

ace11golf Louisville,  KY Nice Bags These bags turned out nicer, and tougher, than I thought they would be. The tear-drop form follows the contour of my 2005 Vulcan Classic 1500 perfectly. They have held up nicely over the road, have lots of storage and they ARE waterproof, so far. My complaint......they were tough to get mounted. I decided to go with the Hard Mount option. At first I did not think that the included mounting hardware was going to work, but after a few hours, I did get them on and they look great. They bags have a plastic lock on the quick release and it really works. The metal locks that it comes with appear to be just for looks.
