Saddle Bags
Purchased these bags for a '94 Kawasaki ZX6. They seem to fit fine. I’m not an engineer and have a bit of a problem w the documentation supplied as to how to anchor the bags with the straps supplied. A picture in the docs would be most helpful. I purchased the bags based on other reviews; so I must be slow to figure out how to use the straps. The delivery was super fast so I’m a proponent of the Super Store. Would buy from them again.

bad fit
I bought these bags for my sport bike - FZ1. They turned just to be a wrong fit. Once installed they sit awkward and completely cover the passenger foot pegs. This bags are not designed for passenger on the bike and although the finish looked awesome, I had to return the as they were of no use for me.

Dowco - Rally Pack Value Saddlebag
All I had to do was sling the saddlebags over the passenger seat where they fit over the rear turn signals just perfect.
My bike is a 2003 Honda 1100 Shadow Spirit and they look rather stylish I might add.
It took two tries to figure out how to install the rain covers because the instructions are not so good.
GREAT PRODUCT GREAT SERVICE AND MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTORE THEY ALL GO TOGETHER

A Great Deal on a very useful product !
I bought these bags w/ the matching tail bag (see other review). I actually bought them for a dual sport bike I bought, but it was short lived as I am a veteran sportbike rider. The bags however did a great job for both style bikes, and just require a little time spent on trying new ways/ideas for strapping to bikes for best fit, and removal (access to helmet locks, tools, etc). I have not had to use the rain covers yet, but seem to be a reasonable cure for an unexpected down pour. I have heavily filled all bags on a daily basis for work (route job, so lots of open/close). No issues yet overall. The black has done well in the long hot sun days/weeks/months of use so far too, no fade. I haven't tried any other bags like this, but in choosing these for price, I am very happy for function, and ok looks. Don't look cheap to me. Good quality, shape, etc.

Dowco Rally Pack Is A Good Buy
This saddlebag set up pretty quick. It took me a few minutes to figure out why so many one sided clips came with but these are what you use for wrap arounds for a more secure fit. The only fault is that on my bike they sit a bit lower than I would want but that's because I secured them through the bottom of the seat and not over the top. The extra 2" or so would do it. I like them. Looks fine. Works well. Weather covers work. I've already run in the rain with them. (Make sure you allow adequate time to dry the cover before long term storage in the slots) Great purchase. I ride a 250 ninja for commuting.

Nice Product For Price!
Product is excellent for the price. it is very basic no reflectors or extra pockets, rain cover is useless. they fit great on my sv650s along with Dowco tailbag. i just got back from a 2k mile trip the bags did great for what i needed. I recommend to anyone on a budget.

good bags
It’s probably all been said already, but here goes anyways.. A little difficult to assemble, but for good reason, so its sturdy.. Might take a bit of creativity for optimal placement as the instructions are not too good on exactly how to connect it, though its somewhat intuitive.. Very happy with it though... good amount of storage, and solid.. Also, I was very happy to see that it’s made with clips built-in to attach the top bag they make.. So I picked up some nylon webbing and stealth buckles (the same its made with) and so can connect a backpack or duffle right to it. Very cool.

Putting the support liner in was a bit ruff, but once in they are great. I am able to fit all the extra things I need inside. They are easy to hook up and take off. The whole system with tail bag included come off in less than a minute.

Dowco Rally Pack
For the money, a great buy for a soft bag. Fit well on a KLR. Difficult, but not impossible to get the hard plastic "floor" installed in the bottom of each. I would buy Dowco again.

The reason we write reviews.
Once they arrived, I got them situated in no time. They fit perfectly and were precisely what I was looking for and the price they can't be beat, saving me $100 compared to the bags that Buell had for the bike. I like to do some light sport-touring on my bike, and these bags are just what I needed. Thanks again to Motorcycle-Superstore for the great price.

Dowco Rally Pack value saddlebags
I own a SV650 and they fit great and look great on the bike. I had purchased the Dowco Rally Pack tail bag which was good but I needed more space for a 5 day tour. I got these and they did the trick and the tail bag snaps into clips on the saddlebags. Very neat. Stay in place at high speeds and are easy on and off. The instructions on assembly are poorly written and there is nothing helpful on how to attach, but not hard to figure out. A really great value for bags that look good on a sport bike. The attached rain covers are easy on and off.

great value
So far so good, exactly what I needed, a cost-effective way to store my bike cover, work shoes, and quick grocery trips. I can fit 1/2 gallon of milk and carton of egg easy on one side.

Great value, perfect size for overnighters on my old R100s, a little hard to figure out all the straps, but worth the trouble.

excellent product! Just add some relfective material on the sides and it's as good as any set of bags out there. No need to pay for an image unless you want to impress someone.

Great bags for the money
Bags are great for occasional use. Its not something you would use on a daily basis, although it would do the job, they might wear out a little faster than expected. The enclosed rain covers are a great feature. Its a great value if you need to use them occasionally, they are a little tough to assemble and mount, could use better directions with some pictures to assure a better installation. For my use they were a great buy.

Wow! What a great deal! These bags are definitely named correctly - they are indeed a value. They work perfectly on my son's Kawasaki Ninja 250R. Plenty of style, room, and features.

Great for the money
I have a 2008 Suzuki 650 V Strom. With the extra support bracket I purchased separately to keep the bag supported on the left side, the bags fit great and look like they belong there. Be prepared to have a long leg lift, however, when you or a passenger get on or off the bike.

I'm very happy with the saddle bags. They work great on my KLR 650. Gives me enough room combined with my trunk for enough stuff for 3-4 ride. Seem to be holding up very well on the trail and no burning from the exhaust with no aftermarket shield.

Absolutely great product, however, I wish you could lock them.

Value Priced Saddle Bags
I bought these bags not really for trips but to hold my gear when I ride in to work. They are plenty large enough to hold my leather coat in one bag and my leather chaps and gloves in the other so that I do not have to carry them in at work or have to wear them when it is warm after work. They do not flap around in the wind because of the many tie down straps but can be removed in less than one minute. So far they are great.

Great budget saddlebags
I got these because I didn't know how much I'd use saddlebags and couldn't justify buying a $100+ set. I got these and was very pleased with the build quality. It can hold quite a bit of cargo. My only problem is that there's no quick release, no way to lock the bags, and the attachment points don't work well on my '08 250 Ninja. There's just no way to strap it on as securely as I'd like. Plus, the angular bodywork causes fit problems.

Dowco - Rally Pack Value Saddlebag
I bought these to use on my Suzuki dual sport DRZ400S which is used mostly for bow hunting and cruising logging roads and jeep trails. These bags are a great value for the price. They are quick and easy to mount on my bike. They are well constructed, but I can't testify to the durability until they survive a wet winter of hunting in western Washington State. So far I would highly recommend this product.

Excellent Bags
Perfect bag for my Versys, which is not easy to fit having no side structure. Good value and hold enough for my week plus trips along with my top box.

Dowco - Rally Pack Value Saddlebag
Got these for my Kawasaki Versys. Because there is nothing under the tail-no muffler or any hard parts, saddle bags are a challenge. Dowco Rally bags fit very well, they don't tuck under and I think they look great. They are very basic but that's reflected in the price. Simple practical, great for my bike.

Looked at many...bought one!
I was surprised how well it fit (06'Buell XB 12) on my bike as I have tried a lot. But took a chance on these bags after I saw the size and thought it would fit...15 minutes later I was in business. They are a plain set with no frills. Which is exactly what I was looking for. Something that I could throw on for quick 2-4 day trips, if I didn't want to take my HD Heritage. Front strap under the seat, the back one over and attached the front and rear of the backs to the passenger peg area. I would recommend to anyone. And best of all they did NOT cost $100-200!

Cheap saddle bags
These cheap bags give me some carrying capacity for day-to-day use, but I wouldn't try to go touring with them. I cut off the front and back straps and routed the 2 top Velcro straps under the seat on my sport bike. It's very secure. These bags don't have a lot of volume, but then they don't hang down where they can get caught in something, and they don't flap around in the wind. Note that the label says maximum allowable load per bag is 7 pounds. I think that limit is conservative.
