Does anyone have/recommend any Universal fit soft saddle bags on the Ryker

[delkhouri]

Does anyone run with universal fit soft saddle bags on the ryker. Just draped over the max mount and tightened down there... any issues with doing something like this? I dont mean something with brackets. Just the throw-over tighten down type.

I would love to see some pics if anyone is doing this.

That is my set up. I bent my own stainless tubing and attached the ends to the bike (images should be farther up in that thread)

Last month I improved upon it by removing the bags and max mount and I ran the strap (shown in the picture going over the passenger seat) under the passenger seat. The new setup up shifted the saddlebags back slightly farther which actually improved the bag location. Before they were slightly in the way of the passenger foot pegs from folding up into the "stow" position. The back strap that goes over the seat in the picture now goes behind the passenger seat.

That looks good but i am asking about the throw-over bags that you dont have to use tubing for.

I tried that with a cheap set of bags I got on Amazon but they just flopped around since there was nothing to really bind them against. I ended up going with a Top Case last year, but I think I am going to try again using the Lamonster IPS Rack and Saddlebag standoffs.

They are throw-over bags but there is not much support for throw over bags on the Ryker. You cinch up the straps and they dangle in mid air because of the open air design around the rear tire.

I have the cheap saddlebags that drape over the max mount, but I have not tried them YET. I have a large box on the back now and have not needed the extra space, yet. I have thought about trying them, but I think that they are going to need some sort of standoff to keep them from hitting the wheel. So far, the luggage box works fine and I have not needed to use the saddlebags.

Hi delkhouri:

Just fitted my soft saddle bags (expandable) to my Ryker 600. It has a GIVI 45lt TOPBOX mounted on the MaxMount

Used 2 universal brackets mounted to the MaxMount. Then just using the supplied tiedowns and straps to attach and fasten them down.

Not much noise or movement when riding.

Maybe do some improvements if they flap around too much

Will try to add photos.

It says that the files are too large

See the Sticky below, post #1 has directions on how to post pics as thumbnails; while posts #4 & 17 have info/help on resizing image files to get them to upload.

If you've been trying to add pics/images/attachments without success, then the most likely issues are that you're either not finishing the upload, attach, and insert (as a thumbnail!) process; or your source image/file is simply too large! So for the former, you need to finish the job properly; the latter, either scale it down or re-size it smaller until it will upload.

I used Chase Harper Aeropac saddlebags, but I did adapt some Harley Sportster supports to use them. I don't see how you could properly secure soft saddlebags without some means of support.

I modded my old Tiger 800XC pannier brackets to fit my soft luggage. Works pretty well, I wouldn't trust hanging them on the max mount, especially two of them.
