Troubleshooting

Bag is loose or shifts during riding

Ensure all mounting straps are fully tightened. Check for any obstructions preventing a secure fit against the swing arm. Re-evaluate mounting position for optimal stability.

Water entering the main compartment

Confirm the roll-top closure is properly sealed by folding it over at least three times. Ensure the interior liner is correctly in place and not damaged.

Strap system seems difficult to attach

Examine the swing arm design for unique features that might impede strap placement. Adjust the angle or position of the bag slightly to find the best strap routing.

Zipper on external compartment is stiff

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

  • Ample storage capacity
  • Versatile mounting options
  • Includes convenient external storage and attachment points

Cons

  • Universal fit may require minor adjustments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable mounting location on your motorcycle's exposed triangle-style swing arm.
  2. Use the integrated strap system to secure the bag. Ensure the straps do not interfere with the drive belt or chain.
  3. Adjust the tension of the straps for a snug fit, ensuring the bag remains stable during riding.

Compatibility:

This bag is designed as a universal fit for most motorcycles featuring an exposed triangle-style swing arm. It is compatible with various bike types, including cruisers, sportbikes, and touring motorcycles, provided the swing arm geometry allows for secure attachment.

Care:

  • Clean the bag using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Allow the bag to air dry completely before storing or using it.
  • Periodically check the mounting straps for wear and tear and replace if necessary.
  • The UV-rated material offers protection, but prolonged, intense sun exposure may eventually cause fading.
