Cortech Sport Saddlebags

By lago from Kansas City, MO on 09/22/2008

Pros: Fits well on an SV650SF. Bags do not wobble at highway speeds and feel like they'll last a long time.

Cons: The mounting instructions could be better, I'm still not sure exactly how the pads to make sitting on the straps more comfortable are supposed to go on.

Pros: Solid construction, expandability, easy on and off, adjustable to different bikes, hot pipe wont melt the bottom easily or at all, because of design, if you have gotten to this item, you can probably stop looking

Cons: I would like more reflective material. What is on there is too little (just a few letters and a small (1 inch by 2 inch) rectangle). You have to figure out how to put it on because the instructions suck, and hope that your bike has attachment points for the straps (but i guess most do). Also, check out where your tail pipes are. A lot of the modern bikes have them so high that these bags would not work

Comments: See above. I have really liked these bags. I put them on my MZ Scorpion Tour. I fit a ton of stuff. Even my laptop (although it BARELY fits), books, files, chords, extra clothes for the gym, water... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Good space utilization for their size. With the zip-out sections expanded, enough size to allow a four day ride (barely). Sturdy construction, seems like they'll hold up well. Secure on the bike, even at seriously supra-legal speeds no wobbling. Easy to get on and off bike once mounted. An excellent luggage system for a sport bike. Very good value IMHO.

Cons: Sketchy documentation as to mounting on the bike. Had to call a friend to see how he did his. Potential for scuffing finish if putting on and taking off daily unless both bike and bags are completely clean.

Pros: Easy Install, Good Fit, Not Too Ugly

Cons: Snaps are a little cheap, instructions could be better

Comments: I'm taking a three day trip and wanted something to haul clothes, toiletries and such. I'd do a backpack, but I don't want to be "the guy" with the backpack. It fit without any drama on my Buell... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: Nice construction, plenty roomy, like the way the third bag attaches

Cons: No way you can figure the mounting from the instructions provided and there is no additional help from the manufacturer's website. Searched the web and still didn't find any real help. I'd give you detailed instructions here on how I did it, but mine are clearly jury rigged. Still, they are attached, they hold STUFF, and they aren't scratching the bike nor am I meltig the bags, so I guess it works till I figure out something better.
