Saddlebags for smaller Scoots
« on: January 17, 2015, 02:41:56 PM »
Saw these Kwik Tec bags on eBay ($56) and then cheaper on Amazon ($45). Wondering if anyone has any experience with them or any other type of saddlebags for smaller scooters. Looking for something to add capacity to store stuff for when I go scooter camping this Spring/Summer/Fall.

Supposed to be able to hold a case of beer. :)

My seat bucket holds a 12 pack, and a bag of ice. I'm only 1/2 drunk by the time I get home so a set of those will fill the bill.  Thanks!  ::)

Have two sets of them Purple is cheaper and a bit larger (I colored them black with fabric spray and fabric marker).Black looks better,costs more and is a tiny bit smaller. They are coolers and WILL hold a case of beer,plus keep it cool .Great for cold/frozen groceries .
I ride with a stainless steel water bottle.I freeze about 1/2 full of water, then, top it off for longer periods of being out.Keeps cold most of day and is like an ice pack for food/groceries.

I use the smaller ones in my full-sized leather saddlebags as a type of liner . They are 100% waterproof...leather is water resistant , so I know it will keep gloves,sunglasses,extra  clothing, etc. dry .

I don't think you can go wrong with them. I've been impressed .

I'm all but ready to purchase these but I've heard of pricing from 15-45 dollars. It must fluctuate and you have to get in at the right time.

Here's a quick unboxing of what I got. Will give a full review once I get a chance to use them a few times this Spring.

It's like the Maintenance thread here (forgot who's) It's so thorough I just want to mess with it. Like Ted Danson's hair... when he had hair

Wkreps needs a trunk for his junk. Pack a lot of stuff in a Givi or a knockoff.

Have used it but only once. Wanted to get another time or two in before giving a final opinion. Should be later this summer.
